Flea-Bay, the Liar and Busse

[Thomas Linton]

and no, no one here has to prove intent. this is not a court. it is quite simply a misrepresentation, seemingly intentional, to boost interest in the item.

In that case, if somwone buys the item based on that misrepresenation, it is fraud.

In that case, if somwone buys the item based on that misrepresenation, it is fraud.

perhaps, im sure ebay has some type of regulations, albeit lax, regarding these types of matters.

if a buyer were to receive the knife, then find out the description was false, they would have a legitimate gripe.

im not sure this would fall under criminal law, but a civil suit may be in order if the seller refused a refund based on the false statements.

true dont buy if you dont like.

however, the seller is misrepresenting a company that many of us are deeply committed to. to see the description, and apparant lack of concern for corrections provided by many, leaves a bad taste in my mouth as well.

and isnt this what the gbu is for? to let others know about these types of sales?

oh i agree, i would have just read it and moved on though, but thats just me.........
