We need to stop these false advertisements

So I just bought a pair of gumboots advertised as follows, (cut & paste wording)

Quality Work Gumboots Gum Boots Safety Knee Length Industrial Heavy Duty gumboot

BUT they are NOT EVEN CLOSE to that description, they're a cheap, ill fitting, poorly constructed boot that would last 12 months, I'm a 60+ yo farmer, 6th generation so I reckon I know gumboots as I've worn then since I could walk.  So I know what I should have got based on the description and I understand consumer law SO WHY THE BLOODY HELL DOESN'T EBAY???   How do we stop this from continuing?

( still going to drive the Countess wild. lol )

 

I really need to sell this - as I've never been in the Army - always found them a bit bossy.

Never been in the Navy - don't trust Floaties.

Never been in the Air Force - Vertigo.

 

But this is a need to sell - $11.49 - with Best Offer in place - but don't make the mistake of offering $10.40 - cause I'll only counter  with $11.40.

 

This sale has to be done by Feb 26th - that's when my third divorce becomes final - and I'm deploying to the kitchen - that's actually a fib - I never go there.

Blood is red, too... but I'm not going to put in an offer for your blood, domino!

 

 

 

 

Unless you are using eBay escrow, which doesn't exist, I'm afraid that interest in your "caravan" is going to be limited.
