<p>[QUOTE="Glorification, post: 5471929, member: 79336"]EBay is rife with rip off merchants, real business sellers with proper shops and there is no one to stop any of them, there is even accounts that copy other sellers photographs and list items as their own, will eBay stop this? No.. it’s all about numbers, less listings lowers the value of the company, I see every single day items up for auction with plenty of interest and it’s just not what the sellers advertises the item as. The problem with eBay Is people take long term sellers word for it, take a an opal triplet ring for example, opal triplet being the cheapest version of a real opal and a big jewellery seller which I won’t name because I’m not sure if I am aloud to, is selling this opal triplet ring as a black opal ring, they know it isn’t because I’ve seen them sell full opals many of times, someone who doesn’t know any better pays top money for it, while an honest seller is selling another opal triplet ring- advertised as such and no Interest because it is an opal triplet, if I reported the listing of the opal triplet sold as a black opal, nothing would be done about it.</p><p>Also all these sellers are continuing to make a fortune because if anyone returns an item not as described and they leave negative feedback, eBay will just remove it so the seller has 100% positive. The problem I find is the Person who doesn’t know any better will buy a fake from a so called trusted seller and never know the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
