Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 1:14 pm Jim, ebay doesn't take responsibility for its sellers' actions since it claims it's just a venue for persons to sell things. Despite proven fraud, it has permitted estatedoctor to continue to operate under one ID or another for about three years. It's just the way ebay works and while it's a nice thought that ebay might someday be brought to account for its sellers' transgressions, it doesn't appear that it's gonna happen anytime soon.

scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 1:24 pm I bet with the right Lawyer an a court date, with the proof < of course that ebay has waived the idea that the guy is a crook , because they just want their money. But if I buy a coin from you (for Example) an it turns out to be stolen, I can be charged for it, or if I harbor a crimminal, unknowingly (which in My idea) ebay does, I can be arrested. I f a crook breaks into my house trips on say my daughters toy and breaks his leg he can legally sue ( he will go to jail of course but still legally can receive compansation for his wound. WOW this why I do not sell or buy on ebay or any other auction site. of course I would from most of you on the forum. That would be my only exception to the rule. I dont think ebay should be held responsaible for the actions of every crook, but when everyone knows that they let it slide becuase he pay's them their money then yes.

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 6:52 pm Tiffany's now 2+ year old lawsuit against ebay for doing just that already has some big guns on the job. It'll be in court for a few more years before anything is resolved. ebay has tightened up a little as a result including it's "report this item" function at the bottom of each auction. For dozens of pertinent articles on the suit, see: http://www.google.com/search?q=tiff...nt=firefox-a In our field of numismatics, one needs to be carefully and thoroughly educated in spotting fakes, hype, homebrew slabs, problem coins, overgrades, the series in which one is interested, and the auction sellers themselves before wading in where angels fear to tread. However, with this education, one can do very well on ebay, both buying and selling. It's sorta like swimming with the sharks: it can be done without losing an arm and leg, but it's not for the faint of heart and the unwary. Report this Post to the Staff
