No, I wouldn't necessarily say it's 'fine'. That is a good point. It'd make a great philosophy essay question:
'Is it worse for 1 person to be scammed out of $20k than 20 people being scammed out of $1k? Answer from the argument that people cannot and should not be saved from themselves'.
Tricky, I think I'd need at least 1500 words to answer that. Meanwhile I'm still chuckling over the roses.. I must be evil.

Of course it isn't right but let's face it you would have to be pretty dumb to fall for most of these seed listings, people really do have to take the trouble to activate a few brain cells before pressing the buy button. It is rather disheartening to know that 3,612 people are so gullible, extrapolate that number to the general population and it doesn't say much for the future of the human race!
That's what the scammers rely and I must have a different outlook because any money taken by a scammer is
wrong IMHO,(it doesn't matter whether it's a $1 or less and it will upset the person once they find out that they
have being scammed),
Scammers have no place on an auction site and the site is responsible for refusing to take the listings down.
The seed listings have been reported on numerous occasions and links where included to show how they
"changed" the items to produce these fake scam items.
The total FVF made by eBay on all these fake items would come to around $2000,(that's all they would've
made from them).
The negative feedback given on gardening and other forums will cost them a lot more in creditability and
will have a bigger impact in lost revenue then that 2 grand.
eBay's lack of ethics proves that they don't care about their members and as long as most items are making
money they can stay,

Before posting these sort of comments you should at least have some idea as to what you are talking about,
I've stated FAKE seed listings,(not genuine seed listings).
Check back on: http://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Buying/Fake-watch-listing-reported-to-eBay-Nothing-happens/m-p/18132...
That way at least you'll have some knowledge of what I'm talking about,
Jumping in with no prior knowledge is never going to work,(you need to revise your "tactics").
