<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2132588, member: 112&quot;]Believe it or not, there are actually federal standards for how items like this may be described when offered for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/23.4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/23.4" rel="nofollow">https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/23.4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And no, that doesn&#039;t have anything to do with ebay, it applies when offered for sale anywhere. For example, before an item can be described as &quot;gold electroplate&quot; the gold must be at least 7 mils thick (that&#039;s 7 millionths of an inch) and of 10 karat gold or better.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it can make a huge difference if you use different words or wording to describe these kind of items, such as - gold plated, electroplated, gold filled, gold rolled, gold washed, etc etc etc. And the regulations are quite different for all of them. So simply by using the wrong word or phrase when selling this stuff, you can be guilty of a federal crime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
