eBay (getting back and money + more) from brands who ILLEGALLY try to stop competition from their items OR remove items for political posturing (radar detectors/rifle scopes and other items – all legal in the US to sell online AND legal according to ADBAYS own site) is the cause of the issues.

1) remove all ephemera items that say reproduction
2) remove all chinese power supplies etc that are NOT UL rated
3) demand to see UL ratings on Chinese motor scooters (you know – the ones that blow up/catch fire)
4) remove all the illegal video game (home/handheld and arcade) that are bootleg

JUST doing these 4 simple things – instead of harassing sellers for nothing – would go along way.

BUT Adbay loves the money, someone has to pay for the brass’s kids to go to UCLA etc – and money doesnt grow on trees (you steal it from sellers) so …….. (for once) – let the government go after them!

“While the government referred to eBay as a retailer, eBay’s statement refers to its platform as a marketplace of buyers and sellers”

except…fedex and ups say ebay is the shipper of record

except …credit cards show ebay as the merchant

must be more magical innovations
