Item number(s): 5706904428 $UK UK !00000! 060704 ?01 -01
Message: I am concerned about the number of items appearing on Ebay similar to the item refernce 5706904428. The sellers are clearly attempting to deceive potential bidders despite the 'disclaimer' at the end of the description. i am aware of instances whee the police have arested sellers for similar offences in newspaper classifieds. Whilst I have no intention of bidding on such an item, I would like to know what Ebay's official position is and the possible reputational damage this type of activity can cause to Ebay.
A student in the US got "Done" for selling a photo of a Rolex for $5k with a disclaimer at the end - but I think it was a civil matter and the "Buyer" had to sue.

They certainly have! I had this email this morning:
"Hello Darren,
Thank you for your report, we have reviewed the listing(s) you have brought to our attention and taken the appropriate action.
Violations of eBay's listing policies can lead to consequences that range from issuing the seller an informational alert, ending the listing(s), moving the listing(s) to a more appropriate category, a temporary suspension, an indefinite suspension or terminating the membership. Repeated violations of eBay's listing policies can result in the suspension of a member's account.
I can understand your desire to know what action we may have taken on the seller's account. However, due to eBay's Privacy Policy, I am unable to provide you with information regarding the details of another user's account. This is for the protection of all eBay users."
All I can say is that I'm glad whoever it was that had bid £102 for it didn't get stiffed! It's all very well saying that if he didn't read the small print then he deserves what he gets, but £102 is an expensive lesson to learn!
