<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Suarez, post: 3603617, member: 99239&quot;]Why on earth? Haven&#039;t you been watching the news? The argument &quot;we&#039;re just a platform&quot; has been bandied about like a shield by different venues, especially social media, since day one and each year that shield breaks down a little more. By ebay picking a service - one and only one service - they&#039;re implicitly acknowledging that there&#039;s a potential you could get burned if you forgo that service. That&#039;s a conflict of interest because they&#039;re making money, ostensibly, to allay your fears as a customer while at the same time adding a revenue channel that depends on forgeries being posted to merit there being such a service in the first place!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay already employs legions of employees to take down inappropriate listings. Adding literally a couple more to weed out the fakes results in a more trustworthy venue which encourages more participation and fewer grumbles from newbies later learning that the Pertinax they scored for $50 was, in fact, made in a Bulgarian garage a couple of weeks before.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real problem are the fake sellers. A pay-for authentication service doesn&#039;t do jack to fix this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rasiel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
