The Latin expressions Caveat Emptor, Caveat Vendor are well known, meaning let the buyer / seller beware. On eBay the advice should be Caveat everybody and everything. Nobody plays fair on eBay and gets away with it!
Fakes Abound on eBay There are always large numbers of fake coins, and other goods, for sale on eBay, probably because eBay don't care as long as they are making money, and nobody seems to be responsible for policing eBay.
Frauds Abound on eBay For the same reasons as fakes abound, but there are fraudulent sellers and fraudulent buyers.
Copyright Thieves on eBay We already have a page naming and shaming dealers using our images without permission. It's time we did the same for eBay, although if we include them all, this could be a very long page.
Dishonest eBay PowerSellers
Is this tautological?You might be surprised at the number of eBay so-called PowerSellers who are dishonest and lazy enough to steal our images instead of taking their own photographs. According to eBay, their PowerSellers are "the pillars of our community". Pillocks more like!
But then, the more we see of eBay, the more we think of a den of thieves.
