<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 695284, member: 5833&quot;]My impression is they don&#039;t really want to have to police ivory, not because they don&#039;t care about elephants, but because how are they to know if African or Indian, antique or modern?&nbsp; They could demand that anyone who wants to sell ivory also show a scan of a certification making it legal, but they don&#039;t.&nbsp; Believe if you say it&#039;s &#039;antique&#039;, they take your word for it.&nbsp; E.g.:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/143080830862" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/143080830862" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/143080830862</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So reports to eBay, who take down the listing &amp; scold the seller, but do not try to prosecute seller?&nbsp; Have been told at a big antique jewellery show that at least one seller got hit with a large fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I regularly encounter ivory cameo listings of the wink-wink variety, although sometimes I think seller genuinely doesn&#039;t know.&nbsp; When they say it is resin but are asking $300, it&#039;s a bit of a tip off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
