[QUOTE="900fine, post: 460192, member: 6036"]E-Bay is not a coin company. They are not a sales company. They are a technology company. Their view of the vast majority of the listings is "it's just one more record in a database". It's not merchandise to them. It's just a few more kilobytes on a hard disc somewhere. That said, they have to enforce some rules in order to make their techno-room inhabitable, so that buyers feel comfortable and safe. It's not reasonable to expect them to police all their listings. They vet some of them, [I]caveat emptor[/I] vets most of the bad ones, and people like CT help vet the rest. Overall, I think the system is working fairly well. As long as we keep up the good work with threads like this one, and CT people keep responding, E-Bay will keep responding. They got rid of this clunker listing fairly quickly, I think. Kudos to all, including E-Bay. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
