[Lee]:
Technically, no.  The problem is that there isn't enough policing that goes
on and also not enough people willing to report badnesses like forged
autographs and pirate DVDs.  If everyone began reporting things or
questioning things, Ebay would have to do more policing, IMHO.  As it is,
they do what they can if something is brought to their attention...at least,
this is how I understand it.

The problem is that the dealer needs to be tracked down and hauled in
because, even if Ebay shut him/her down, he/she/they could always change
their name and account info and start all over again.

As an aside, I once had a poster to the BSG list I moderated who was truly
off-color.  When I would send him private reprimands, he would post them
with his commentary to the list.  I banned him and, sure enough, I saw him
come back with another account name, gloating over the fact that I could ban
him as many times as I wanted but he'd always be able to come back...what a
headache.

AAAK!! Sorry for the rambling rant.  It's just that piracy is a sore subject
to me.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
