How can eBay BUYERS BE PROTECTED FROM false advertising?

Its Buyer beware - Know what you are buying ....Know the below statements are my opinion based on over 25 years in the Gold Leaf Trade.Example: Fairtrader60 is selling Gold Leaf Flake and in the item description they state "This gold leaf flake is cut by a leafing company from scrap metals that contain trace amounts of Real Gold"

The "trace amounts of Real Gold" is false advertising. There is not a leaf company in the world that is mixing up their genuine metals with there fake metals. Get with it - genuine gold is $1600.00+ an ounce or 31.10 grams. Do you think the leaf company will use a shop vac to clean up?

If you are buying a ounce of gold for $29.95, its not Real nor dose it have "trace amounts of Real Gold" in it.

I just purchased some software and before I purchased it I contacted the selling and asked "Is your item from the manufacture and will I be able to register it on their website"

They replied "Yes, I don't sell counterfeiter".

So if I could not register it I would have returned it.

AND ALWAYS USE PayPal.

Never go off eBay to complete a purchase. Do I need to cover Money Orders and Western Union - Simple answer Don't use them to pay for anything.
