<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 18352, member: 112&quot;]I understand your perspective as well Susan. I also understand that as an ebay seller, you could be harmed financially by any adverse publicity about ebay and some of the practices that take place. For as they say - it only takes 1 bad apple to ruin the barrel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this fair to you and other reputable sellers ? No of course not. But by the same token is it fair to the hundreds, if not thousands, of buyers&nbsp; who are taken advantage of on a daily basis for the truth to not be told ? I think not. But you know what - any harm that an honest ebay seller may suffer will be short lived. For as they also say - the cream rises to the top. </p><p><br /></p><p>What you are doing is looking at this from the wrong point of view, in much the same way that ebay themselves have been looking at it for years. Instead of thinking that publicity about the rip off sellers on ebay will harm your sales - what you should be thinking is about how once the public, the buyers, are educated about all these rip offs - they will be looking for the honest sellers. Instead of spending their hard earned money on fakes and counterfeits - they will be spending their money on the genuine article that YOU, as an honest seller, offer. Your sales will go up in the long run - not down.</p><p><br /></p><p>How many people do you think there are who will not buy on ebay at all because they know or hear about all the scams and rip offs that take place ? In the past couple of years, I could count a couple hundred collectors from this forum alone who have stated that they will not buy, or very seldom buy, on ebay because of this. But take away all the bad - and the good will flourish as never before. The buyers will flock to ebay in droves once they have confidence that ebay is doing everything it can to stop fraud and that the ebay sellers can be trusted.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said before - revelation of the truth is always a good thing. For everybody&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
