Default Ebay sucks- suggestions anyone?

Posted By: slacks

You're all a smart bunch of folks.

Why haven't you all realized that eBay isn't going to do anything about this? Give it up. Move on.

If you found a store selling fake FroJoys, would you complain (repeatedly) to the landlords? No, you'd go to the police.

Prepare a coherent, complete letter and send it to the FBI. Or call your local office and make an appointment. Then relax. You will have done all you can do. They may not pursue it right away, or ever, but they have the ability to get the seller information from eBay and go after them. And maybe they will pursue eBay for allowing the auctions to continue.

It might help to step out of your collector's shoes for a change and look at this as a normal citizen might: someone's selling new cardboard and pretending it is old cardboard. Or someone is trimming a piece of old cardboard, making it look more even, and selling it pretending that is wasn't trimmed.

Not a big deal for most people.
