[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 3277617, member: 10469"]way cool on your expertise GDJMSP and being part of that team Granted it is not realistic to think all fakes would be found. But there should still be reasonable and proper response to the clear violations. As long as they have disincentive (because they profit a fee from the sale) they will do as little as possible. I think they should be accountable, the same way I am if I take a fake $20 for my goods that I sell and then take it to the bank. That has actually happened to me. I realized it was counterfeit and told the teller I thought it was as I handed it to her. She confirmed it was and I was out $20. BTW it was an employee that took the $20 in the first place. I recognized it as soon as I saw it. I did not try to pass it along. I knew I was out the $20. Under federal law, the use or attempted use of counterfeit currency is illegal if the person has the intent to defraud the recipient. A conviction for the offense carries up to 20 years in prison and a fine. In the strictest sense, Ebay uses the fake, as a means of getting their fee. If there is no penalty for Ebay they will never change. they will just keep pocketing the fee and laugh all the way to the bank.[/QUOTE]
