battlefield0516 t206 on ebay

[Mdmtx]

if they are outwardly and openly selling items that are not as advertised, why has no one gone after them? I know there are several attorneys on this board, maybe one of them can chime in. I have no idea if their auctions are all bad or not, but my single transaction with them was not as advertised for sure. Why does eBay allow it? If they truly are breaking the law, why are we all powerless?

Because stuff beats out ethics!

Some people actually keep the card when they receive it in "not as described condition", thereby enabling the process. Not me - I purchased 30 lots and returned 22 of them after leaving 17 negatives and 5 neutrals.

My problem is the deliberate attempt to defraud that started this thread off. This isn't retouching or photoshopping or even trimming, this is taking a card you KNOW to be no good, and claiming it is.

I am also curious what other, honest, sellers think of her/them?

I am sure battlefield, in a round about way, is taking business from all of them.
I mean, take for instance, someone fairly new to the hobby, or even an average everyday collector, once they realize they have been burned, they are sworn off E-Bay for good.

We have a site up here called Kijiji, and it's amazing how many people won't even go near it due the scams and other shenanigans that often occur on there if you are not sharp.

I can't help but think the same goes with E-Bay. Fool me once...........
