I feel an obligation to prevent parties from being scammed on eBay through a moral obligation and my own self interest (see below). There are currently 2 different pairs of shoes GROSSLY misrepresented on eBay. I am suggesting that everyone send the prepared statements to each seller. Both sellers have been notified of their error and they both sent a response indicating that they are not going to correct the listings. It would be impossible to get eBay to pull the listing because how do they know the details of each shoe. The reply contains the info on the second pair. Each post will describe the misrepresentation, contain an auction link, and have a prepared statement to send to the seller. Maybe we can police this kind of questionable behavior ourselves. I have attempted to make this as simple as possible, so that there will be high participation. First is a pair of Paul Stuart's and the seller claims they are made by Edward Green. Edward Green did make some shoes for Paul Stuart, but not these. This is a prominent seller by the name of geb_999. These shoes are on the 8001 last (Grenson last). They also do no exhibit the EG nail pattern. If you don't know me, I sell lots of rebranded shoes. I am certain that these shoes are made by Grenson. Link to Auction Statement: Hello, I am a member of a large men’s clothing forum with thousands of members. It has been posted on our site that you are misrepresenting these shoes. You have been previously notified that they are not made by Edward Green; however, you still list them as such. I and many other members are requesting that you correct your listing. You are either blatantly lying about the shoes, or you have chosen to make statements without properly researching them. A link to your post with a copy of this message will continue to be posted until you choose to do the proper research and correct your listing. I am sure many of your sales come from members of our site, and your eBay ID will be associated with such lies. This could seriously affect your business. Please take the time to do what is right. Thank you Disclaimer: I do sell re-branded shoes on eBay and here on the forum. I do have an interest in ensuring that shoes are accurately described. I feel that I will loose potential customers if they get screwed only once. I wanted to disclose that I view myself as a competitor to these listings; however, I am dong this more as a way to protect my potential customers instead of making sales.
