IS A BONE A BONE?

FAUX MEANS FAKE/FALSE.

 

MANY SELLERS HAVE PUT THE WORD "FAUX" BEFORE THE WORD "BONE"  IN THEIR ITEM DESCRIPTIONS.

IF, TO KEEP EBAY HAPPY, THIS COMPLIES WITH EBAY'S SO-CALLED IVORY POLICY, IT ALSO PROVIDES A LOOPHOLE TO BUYERS.

 

 

 

IF A BUYER PURCHASES A FAUX-BONE KNIFE, RECEIVES IT AND DISCOVERS THAT ITS REALLY BONE, SAID BUYER IS TECHNICALLY ENTITLED TO A FULL REFUND BECAUSE ITS "NOT AS DESCRIBED"

daddykool,

of course you should complain, as you stand more than a good chance of getting a refund as well as keeping the knife.

Not that's legal, mind you - but hey, who cares - right?

Same thing happened to me, as decribed in one of my previous posts, I ordered and paid for was Target bed sheets - but what I received was bed linen that retails for over $500!

Not as described - I couldn't report them fast enough!!! 

OMG, what is a buyer to do - Ebay is so full of fakes. In my case, to ensure I was getting what I wanted maybe I should have gone to Target to shop. Never been in one before, so that in itself would have been and added bonus.

if you are not happy with using the word faux  in front of bone , then dont sell your product , forget the technicallity, its also technically not allowed to change a light bulb, look this is life ,if you cant use the word bone or ivory then dont sell them.

it does not matter if you are 100% right,

It's illegal to change a light bulb only in the State of Victoria if you aren't an electrician

what are you talking about   read the other thread its not a legal problem  its an ebay policy that does not allow these products to be sold on there site , if ebay does not want green paint to be sold well thats up to them   very simple  he as been warned many of times , he does not listen and now his ebay is suspended

elec bulb   if you say so , but who calls an electician to change a light bulb,   dont tell anyone but i still change my own  lol

harley babes,

for someone who resides on thesse boards - I am somewhat surprised that you didn't know or read here many times that that is what Ebay does. Refunds the buyer and lets them keep the items. I have read that many times.

However, more disturbing is the fact that you have completely missed the meaning of my post - it was tounge in cheek.

Not that it worries me, those who get it will get it - those who don't  won't.

And just how much do you think It means in my life to get  a thumbs down kudos? At the moment - zero.

But you never know - the effects of that may be bad for my health, make me ill, like so many other other people on Ebay, those who are adversely affected - ie: they are very upset, devastated, traumatised, disturbed, greatly disappointed, ... on and on.
