How Conned on ebay

[demon616]

How can eBay allow all these items to be listed as Antique when it was then listed as new in the fine print which one is it eBay Antique or New it cant be both? I have been looking for an Antique walking cane/stick for quite a while only to keep coming across these walking canes/sticks that are constructed in 3 parts where if too much weight is put on them they collapse as the brass screws are to weak and not long enough to hold a grown mans weight of 86 kilos the cane just gives way, I believed eBay had a standard where a vendor could not make false claims either something is Antique or it isn't there is no middle ground with this or does eBay now condone fraudulent classifications.

I had no trouble buying an Antique Bentwood Walking Stick a couple of weeks ago.

I am now using it to visit every seller on eBay to vet over a billion listings... should be easy.
