One thing she is doing is displaying all the "Questions from other members" for all to see. Those make it very clear that the poster is a Portal. She would be better off just ending the auction and listing it again with the correct description in the correct category. Regards John

Sure, this is an 'original REPRODUCTION' but it IS a reproduction and NOT an Original 1931 Dracula Movie Poster! And now that you know it is a reproduction, if you do not stop this auction today and relist it in the proper 'reproduction' auction section I will be contacting Ebay. If you continue with this auction as an ORIGINAL, you are consciously misrepresenting your auction by omitting facts that should be revealed to bidders simply to make a buck. And that is fraud, plain and simple.

Before I even received that from her, I filed a report through eBay about the situation, then sent her a third email with the final line being " How would you like to buy something on eBay thinking it was worth hundreds of dollars only to find out later it was worthless?" I just received an email back from eBay's "Safe Harbor" dept thanking me for my report and saying they'll investigate the situation. We'll see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
