Poor trading practices lead to poor comunity safety

reallyhardtofind — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 02:29:00 GMT

Dear Ebay,
I have noticed that there are many sellers on ebay selling alcohol on ebay. Seems to be the go is to write down a fake liquor license number on their listing and it will make the sale. This seems to be quite a common practice as I can point out many cases already.
What I suggest to Ebay is that any sale of alcohol on this website should cease because Ebay is clearly not checking valid liquor license numbers. I also will report these activities to the appropriate Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation in all states and I will have them investigate the activities that are allowed to take place on Ebay.
Enough is enough of these slopy practices .......

These bottles could already be in children's hands..........

voting against wont help the outcome .......its against the law to sell alcohol with out a license. There currently listing on ebay that are breaking the law and its fraud to advertise with a fake or stolen or borrowed license number so THESE ARE THE FACTS AND WILL BE FOUND OUT IN AN INVESTIGATION .....all alcohol sold on ebay will be audited... I promise

Kids are not likely to be buying alcohol from eBay. You need to be 18 to have an ebay account, they would also need to have a bank account or credit card or a paypal account. Then they would have to wait days for it to arrive and make sure they got the mail not mum or dad... this is the generation that can't wait for anything, they are more likely to purchase alcohol from their local bottlo and get 18yr old jo blow down the road to buy it for them or use a fake ID... rather than go through all the rot just to get alcohol off of ebay. :^O They're too useless.

You might want to rephrase that post, I don't know whether it was what you are intended, but the way you have worded it would read to most posters llike a direct accusation against the poster immediately above you indicating that you believe he/she is engaging in illegal conduct on Ebay - and that, my friend is defamation!

no not at all I can clearly see an error in the application of a policy. You can easily sell alcohol on ebay without providing a current liquor license then there is an error in the system...

At the moment there are people on ebay providing a license which does not exist or is under copy right or fraud laws and get through to final sale of the auction therefore this is fraud. To sell alcohol you need this license thats the policy ......I will be ringing the authorities on monday....... if you want make sly remarks about this issue then go ahead the facts and proof etc is there this will be followed up

The only sly remark I have seen so far is your comment:

As someone pointed out, Ebay do not monitor these boards, so complaining here isn't going to acheive anything - especially if you are going to accuse posters here of having a vested interest in the illegality.

Reporting the listings to Ebay and informing the authorities will be far more effective.

What 'profound' remarks? We have already explained to you why posting about this on CS is pointless and given you advice which it appears you are going to take. What more did you want from us?

I doubt very much whether the 'crooks' even read the boards, let alone post on them.
