Posted By: <b>Dan Mathewson</b><p>People like this SUCK. It looks like some of the bidders are being "taken" by the very vague description. These sellers outta be hung out to dry...

Posted By: <b>TBob</b><p>because the seller who is selling fraudulent and/or misrepresented items will turn YOU over to eBay for auction interference and YOU are the one who will get susppended from eBay. Don't believe me, it has happened to more than one guy I know of who posts on this board.

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><BR>I have emailed alot of sellers over the last few years, and have been warned by Ebay atleast 3 times to stop. I wrote them back explaining that I will gladly stop when they start going after and expelling these crooks. I haven't heard another word from them. I must be on double secret probation. I just can't let it rest. be well all brian

Posted By: <b>Dan Mathewson</b><p>They come and yak at you and threaten you for telling the buyer that they are buying a hunk of crap cut outta the TV Guide. eBay is the real problem in every sense, they allow their Power Sellers to get away with murder.

Posted By: <b>jay berhens</b><p>Here's solution to deal with sellers like this, make a bid and then retract. In the retraction, you can then state that the reason you retracted it was that the is a fake.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>I've heard that it's possible, although i would never do it, to register another name with eBay and use that name to email buyers and/or sellers of reprint items. If eBay then wants to suspend that account, who cares, as it's not used for bidding or selling anyway.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw (feeling especially grumpy today)</b><p>Let the dopes out there who buy stuff they don't understand get burned a couple of times. They will get educated quickly and stop bidding on the $&*^. That's the only way that ripoff artists will be put out of business, when it makes no financial sense to list the garbage anymore, since it is obvious that no one at eBay or in the Federal, state or local law enforcement community cares about the rampant consumer fraud on eBay. We're going to have to let the market speak for itself in this situation. I only hope that these people experience lesser losses than Dr. Koos did.
