Well, I don't know if anyone else heard from Ebay about our friend with the Redwood Lodge Chips but the response I received is that they don't care about fraudulent descriptions because they don't want to have to think. The auction now has reached reserve and was at $500.
SDafeharbor's response is below:
Hello,
We have reviewed the auctions you have brought to our attention and
taken appropriate action. We would also like to explain eBay's policy
with respect to reports like yours. eBay is not in a position to make
judgments about the authenticity or authorized nature of auction items,
except in the most extreme circumstances. This may mean that we cannot
remove the item about which you contacted us. In some cases, we refer
the information to the owner of the rights (copyright, trademark, etc.)
involved, if we know who they are and how to contact them.
Although you may be extremely knowledgeable about these types of items,
we often cannot remove items upon the representations of third parties
whose credentials we cannot verify, unless of course the alleged
infringement is obvious on its face. That is why we strongly urge you
to notify the rights holder of the suspected infringement and encourage
them to join our Verified Rights Owners (VeRO) Program (formerly called
Legal Buddy Program). This program enables them to request the ending
of allegedly infringing auctions.
We appreciate your vigilance in helping us to keep inappropriate
auctions off eBay.
If you would like to report a questionable item please visit:

If you have any further queries or problems, don't hesitate to contact
us.
Thanks for using eBay!
Regards,
Harrison
