I made the initial post here mainly to amuse the message board readers here. For the heck of it, I emailed eBay; I didn't say much, just that it WAS a fantasy chip, contray to what the seller says; I offered no proof.
Here is eBay's reply, in part. I really can't blame them:
"Hello,
I appreciate the opportunity of responding to your email.
eBay doesn't actually handle the merchandise that is offered for
auction. Without firsthand knowledge of the item, we are unable to
guarantee the accuracy of the listing information. We encourage members
who are interested in bidding on an item to email the seller for
additional information. Be sure to ask the seller specific questions
regarding age, authenticity and condition of the item before bidding. In
the unlikely event that the seller doesn't respond, you may want to
reconsider your bidding decision.
Part of this information is contained in our User Agreement, under
article 3. I have included a portion of that Article below for your
review:
"...3.1 Overview. Although we are commonly referred to as an online
auction web site, it is important to realize that we are not a
traditional "auctioneer". Instead, our site acts as a venue to allow
anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from
anywhere, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and an
auction-style format commonly referred to as an "online auction". We are
not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a
result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the
items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of
sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot
ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction." Then they went on about feedback.
