: JK goes after eBay : kbmum September 13, 2005, 05:07:20 AM There's an interesting story on The Leaky Cauldron about fake JK autos on eBay. JK has gone on the offensive, since eBay isn't policing its site.

I don't think she will get very far - Ebay now seems to be all powerful and a law unto themselves but at least she is trying. I wouldn't mind putting in a complaint but you have to do it on a specific auction and I would hate to do that on a genuine auto.
But lets face it, it isn't just JKR autos. How many base trading cards do we see for sale with Dan, Emma and / or Ruperts auto - how many of them look real? Ebay needs to start taking responsibility for what is being sold, not just grabbing fees. And they have proved they can do it; look how quickly they removed the Live Aid tickets. Whilst I didn't exactly agree with people selling these on Ebay, they were neither fake or illegal. |
