<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2825954, member: 1892&quot;]They know if they don&#039;t play it that way, eBay will disappear. The only thing keeping them from corporate liability for every little thing that happens on the site is the disconnect of being &quot;only a venue.&quot; They&#039;ve no choice but to push all problems directly onto the sellers/buyers as best they can. The moment that veil is pierced, they will be dogpiled with liability suits, under which they will cease to exist as a company.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, they have to employ a level of strict control under which they would not be profitable because it would take too many people. And that formula holds for any other company which tries to become a competitor - you either disconnect or you exercise a level of control you cannot afford. </p><p><br /></p><p>How much do you think it would take to employ experts capable of discerning illegal/counterfeit operations in every single niche where they operate? Even if you <b>could</b> find those people which is unlikely because that skill commands better money than they could pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the price the laws force us to pay for such a venue, and it&#039;s inevitable that people will get screwed by it. Unfortunately, you&#039;re on the short end this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>No other solution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
