Guest binkbonk Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I recently discovered that e-bay is selling temple garments. I have written a complaint to them. But I just wanted to let everyone know that is an ebay member what is going on. It would help if your opinion is also shared with them. You have to be an ebay member to complain...so if you are not don't feel obligated to join. I can't believe how bad this world is getting that someone would bid $500 for some temple garments..clearly they aren't members (we can get them a whole lot cheaper).

Faerie Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Especially since ANYONE can go on the website and order them for $2...sheesh Thanks for the heads up eh..I've heard this was going on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisRuptive1 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 How is it lawfully wrong? The transactions happen between the auctioner, the owner of such items, and the bidders. Ebay only takes responsibility for maintaining the site and providing a way for the people to exchange items. As you said you must be an ebay member in order to complain. However there is nothing lawful you can do to them because when you sign up there's a little something that you have to agree to called the "End User License Agreement." You, the end user, agree, among other conditions, that ebay is not responsible for auctions that are horrible or wrong. This came up when a man put up for bidding a night with his wife. I think Ebay stayed safe in this but I don't know how it turned out. All I know is some guy got gyped on his bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFDaw Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I've seen auctions that EBAY has pulled because they were wrong or there was a law broken. Not saying that applies here...just saying it's happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 correct, while there's nothing legally wrong, it's morally wrong *in mormon eyes* and ebay has pulled quite a few auctions where they felt that the auctions were inappropriate ala my friend brian tried to auction himself off for a date... if people complain, they will react...

serapha Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi there! I read that ad on Ebay, but I thought that there was a statement saying that the garments would be offered as a group first, for someone from the church to purchase them back. Was I dreaming about that statement? ~serapha~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFDaw Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 No clue. I know on the one I saw that was not stated. But I do know there were several at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
