Reply #6: I think I'm on Ebay's side on this one.

I've been selling on Ebay for 5+ years. I am always VERY CAREFUL to make sure my listings are absolutely accurate! Most of the things I sell are NEW and of course state that. I have sold some personal things on Ebay as well, and ALWAYS state the exact condition, problems if any, and volunteer to answer any questions anyone would have.

I ALSO BUY things on Ebay, and have never had any problems with anything I bought. HOWEVER! The old addage "Let the buyer beware" certainly applies. The one BIG thing Ms. Rogers could do, if she hasn't already, is to post her finding in the sellers feedback. FEEDBACK rating is EVERYTHING on Ebay. Just ONE feedback that says "Don't buy from this seller, There items are fake!" will kill that seller faster than any court can! I would suggest Ms. Rogers & Tiffany's go after the seller, the one who IS breaking the law!

For anyone who buys on Ebay, ALWAYS read the sellers feedback! It's the inside scoop on that seller, and pay close attention to it! You'll get the picture pretty quick. If a seller has 1,000+ feedbacks (1,000 positive and 2 negative) go look at the negatives. If they say something like "I never heard from this seller and my emails were never answered." but the other 1,000 are all good, you can safely assume the two negatives were either running a firewall that blocked the emails, or just the typical difficult customer.

If a seller has 300 feedbacks and 10 are negative similar to "I finally received the item but it was inferior quality, and took 5 weeks to get it." STAY AWAY and find your item elsewhere.

To me, Ebay is like shopping at a giant outlet mall. Not EVERY store in that mall is a terrific seller either!
