E95 Plank on eBay - Undisclosed Information So Beware

[Archive]

Do you at least agree that the "or better" part of that sentence is misleading in and of itself? There's no chance for "better" than "authentic" for this card.

I don't want to beat this thing to death, but he dosn't just say that he described the item as "accurately as possible" -- the auction reads "All information listed is intended to be as accurate as possible, but errors are possible. No item may be returned or refused based on this information which is provided as a service to our customers...and NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THIS AUCTION. Any description of the items contained in this auction is for the sole purpose of identifying the items, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the seller..."

That's a really nifty policy -- refusing a return in the event of a material error in the listing itself?? The bit about the item description not being a "part of the bargin" or creating a warranty that the "goods would conform to any description made by the seller". Listen, there's nothing wrong with attempting to limit liability as a seller -- so long as you're doing it in the right way and for the right reasons. All I'm saying is that the scope of these terms is unusually broad. I've never seen anything quite like it.
