R1 on ebay not as described

That was informative. Would you care to enlighten us further regarding
anyone who uses ebay being an idiot?

 

Fleabay has stolen and fraudulent items/services for sale.
By using fleabay you are encouraging fraud, theft and other
dishonest/illegal activities.
Anyone who encourages dishonest/illegal activities is an idiot.

In general, as soon as a scumbag thief realises they can't sell stolen goods
they will not steal.
Of course there will always be scumbags who steal and burgle just for the
sake of it.

 

Bizarrely, no. Stupidly, they believe justice will do its job,
eventually.

So it's pretty much the same as any other method of selling goods then,
only accessible to a smaller section of the population.

 

Point 2 doesn't logically follow from point 1. Some items on eBay are
dishonest, but only by buying those items do you encourage dishonesty.

However I do generally take your point that eBay should do more to police
their sellers.

Many honest people unknowingly purchase dodgy items/services.
The point being, it is impossible to tell what is legit and what is dodgy
(Biffa, can spot a stolen tin of beans from a mile).

If only that could be done I'm sure fleabay would, however it would be
impossible.
The whole fleabay concept is flawed, fleabay should be shut down.

Don't be such a dickhead. It's a free world, or hadn't you realised
this. There will always be some country whose laws allow eBay to trade,
so you're fighting a losing battle.

That's cool. I buy bits from 'bike breakers' on ebay so I must be a
right tosser.

So it'll be a waste of time if I stop using ebay because people will
still be stealing stuff no matter what I do?

I'm moving towards the idea that you been ripped by someone on ebay
and now think that everyone selling on ebay is a thief and everyone
buying from ebay is as stupid as you are.

 

Fuckwit.

 

You can't really read English, can you?

 

Ah, and people don't rip other people off, sell stolen or knocked off
gear, and generally misbehave anywhere else?

x-posted to upce, where some people might find this little twonk a
perfect target for a virtual kicking.

Like they'll make a difference. He can get a virtual kicking on here
easily enough.

 

It's not impossible at all, there are plenty of clues that you're dealing
with somebody dodgy.

Out of interest, do you have the same view of real-life auction houses, car
boot sales, autojumbles, 2nd hand shops, antique dealers, newspaper
classifieds, Autotrader, Exchange & Mart, postcards in newsagent windows and
computer fairs?

It's just that all of these things can be used to sell dodgy goods and,
added together, they're probably bigger than eBay - does that mean we should
get rid of them all?

Perhaps everybody should have to buy everything in big name chain stores.

Look, whatever you think of them calling them "fleabay" every time you refer
to them really does make you sound like a cock.

Wotcha.

Well then you're just stating an opinion, not a *fact*.

And in *my* opinion, you're full of shite.

HTH

 

Newspapers, magazines etc. have a legal responsibility to protect their
readers from dishonest advertisers - eBay, for some reason, doesn't.
