[QUOTE="clembo, post: 253502, member: 8033"][b]Thanks[/b] First of all I'd like to thank everyone that has participated in this thread. Once again Ardatirion listed this auction in his WHAT A BARGAIN thread. I'm not after this particular seller but believe me he should be banished. I chose this because this is the auction that I reported and wanted to share ebay's lame reply. Philly Dog brought cars into the conversation (thank you!) as it makes the point that much more clear. EBAY WANTS THEIR MONEY! I have been on ebay for 9 years now and been burned once WAY back when. I prefer that other people don't get burned. Is that a bad thing? Caveat Emptor and common sense DO come into play of course but when people are OBVIOUSLY selling fraudulent items ebay needs to take proper measures. As these auctions wind down with winning bidders what happens next? If ebay is informed that the item is an obvious fake after the auction closes will they still charge the fee? Will they notify the buyer? Yes, most bidders are informed and some may have bid just for the novelty but can ebay guarantee that? Lots of questions and this is a big can of worms.[/QUOTE]
