there are dozens of sellers (Australian) on eBay that blatently ignore the 'cant be called sterling unless they are solid' rule.

One particluar seller that I have reported several times over the last 2 years has '925 sterling silver' in his headings, '925 sterling silver' in his descriptions at least twice, and, just because he has 'silver plated' in the small print in item specifics he gets away with it. He has done this for 5 years that I know of. I know, what you are going to say: 'report him for misleading headings' - already done that several times. NOTHING IS DONE and he is still there. He even has several red feedbacks from others and STILL he gets away with it. He is the seller who contacted all the ones in my feedback that I had left reds for - and together they contacted eBay and had me banned.

Others that say '925 sterling silver (sp)' in their headings.
