IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Just an exercise in futility in reporting counterfeits. ebay may throw you a bone once in awhile but they couldn't care less. This 2-Oct-24 (condensed version) ebay has defeated a lawsuit that the US Department of Justice raised last fall, which alleged that ebay violated environmental protection and public safety laws by allowing users to sell hundreds of thousands of banned products. In her order, US District Judge Orelia Merchant agreed with ebay that ebay is shielded from liability for third-party postings (in this case, listings) on its platform. Edited by Everest

Counterfeit coins aren't just banned environmental products. They are illegal to sell, hold and transfer across state lines. It is also a criminal offense, not a civil one. ebay can skirt the law but the criminal liability is always there for a federal prosecutor to charge. ebay does appear to make an effort to adhere to the law and does a better job than platforms like Etsy where this activity is rampant.

numismatic student: US District Judge Orelia Merchant agreed with ebay that ebay is shielded from liability for third-party postings (in this case, listings) on its platform. The DOJ is a Federal agency and lost its case against ebay. The ruling can be appealed. |

Quote: US District Judge Orelia Merchant agreed with ebay that ebay is shielded from liability for third-party postings (in this case, listings) on its platform. That seems completely reasonable. ebay is a third party sales venue. They can't be liable for the misconduct of individuals using their platform. That would, in effect, convert it into a store where all the products are guaranteed by ebay, and at that point, why allow third party sellers at all? No other sales venues are held to that standard—is a flea market responsible for individual sellers offering fake handbags? The contract is between individual buyers and individual sellers on the venue, and that is where criminal and civil liability must rest. ebay cannot be the expert, authenticator, guarantor, and police of every listing that it facilitates. If you don't know what you're doing, then you shouldn't be spending lots of money buying "valuable" things from strangers on the Internet, plain and simple. |
