Yup. Haven't read enough to have an opinion on the merits though.
eBay, PayPal Face Class Action over Counterfeit Goods August 20 2015 ebay.jpg Los Angeles, CA: Claims of consumer fraud have been filed against eBay® and PayPal® and various eBay Sellers in Federal Court under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Lanham Act claiming the defendants knowingly and deliberately facilitate, proliferate and profit from the ongoing sale of counterfeit and fake products on ebay.com.

right so an example already from just 3 months ago....yeah 'good luck going after ebay' maybe that's with phone calls or messages....but lawsuits are a different animal. Its easy enough to find someone to sue ebay and if they have merit...ie. PSA contacting them prior to the sale telling them they are fake' you would think that's enough merit to find attorneys who if successful can collect thousands if not millions in fees.... just a wild guess.. heres a case of a getting 1.2 million over a $36 dollar listing....good luck going after ebay... http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abn/y15/m10/i12/s01 Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 11-18-2015 at 07:12 AM. |

ok...so my command of the law sucks...BUT...for a $5-$15 award per person affected...doesn't seem worth it.

also the mantle that is subject to this thread sold in the thousands...so im assuming the buyer will be looking for recourse after the fraud is found.. don't worry about it ullmandds ...at least you didn't use an analogy with mattresses to prove your point......

For the last couple of years eBay has aggressively enforced their guarantee for buyers. If the seller does not offer a refund then eBay will for up to 30 days after the sale and paypal has a similar guarantee that is good up to 180 days.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...guarantee.html https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/u...ale.x=en_US#13 As long as both companies offer this type of indemnification I am not sure how many sales of counterfeit goods would actually create an opportunity for a lawsuit. |

right ..but like I said to generally say nobody would sue ebay for anything makes no sense....lots of lawyers itching to sue them.. for this particular scenerio..what if 11 months pass if you are sold a fake mantle shouldn't you still be able to get your money back...this is beyond the timeframes listed...and you cant say that argument has at least some merit.........I still was talking more generally..that companies like ebay are ripe for being sued...and not the opposite...

He may have a case against ebay but I don't think many collectors would be likely to pursue that course of action. And unless Peter or Joe are willing to testify it might be hard to prove they were aware of the fraud. I don't know if that's necessary, but it doesn't sound that easy to me any way.
