Ebay is currently running promotions to reassure potential Sellers that their listings are somehow "doublechecked by experts" to assure that there are no fakes and no counterfeits. Not only is this complete NONSENSE, even when a member of the public writes to ebay to point out a FAKE listing... the company y does absolutely NOTHING to sanction the Sellers. No where is this lack of oversight more apparent than in the area of jewelry and gemstones. I recently did a review of 200 listings for "natural turquoise". In 198 of these listings, it was possible by simply looking at the photos to know that what the Seller was offering was NOT "natural" and certainly NOT "turquoise ". Ebay does not see to CARE. At best they are totally Indifferent. There is a very quick way to protect the buying public - demand that product descriptions ACCURATELY reflect the jewelry or gemstone item offered for Sale. And, the way to deal with Sellers with routinely LIE.... sanction them by refusing to accept their listings. Ebay does not do this. Because Ebay does not care to protect its buyers.
