"I would suspect that Safeharbor receives hundreds of these complaints every week, many of which are petty ("that's not a 1934 widget, it's a 1934 1/2"), and some of which are surely from disgruntled competitors intending to sabotage an item. If you were a Safeharbor employee, I think it would only take you one day to realize that not every complaint is accurate, and before ending a man's auction, you better be darn sure it deserves to be pulled."

Of course if I show them that last year the seller gave great detail on why this was a gadget not a widget, and know the seller is giving extensive explanation that this is a thingamajig then we are once again at the obvious.

What Ebay doesn't seem to recognize is that if Ebay tolerates stealing, it will attract thieves, and there are many people who won't deal with online auctions who will be proved right.

I hope the person buying these chips knows what they are. But even more important I hope sellers like this are driven out of Ebay before they get me with the next scam.
