I have a question that possibly a lawyer can shed some light on..........
It seems that on a regular basis, items are questioned on this site that have serious flaws. For example, an auction house may describe an item as being worn in 1980 by player ABC, however, the shirt in question was a style first worn by the team in 1985, and the player attributed to this shirt first played for the team in 1983. Likewise, the manufacturer of the shirt did not make jerseys for the team in 1980, as described by the auction house. In summary, without a doubt, the shirt has been incorrectly listed and attributed to a better name player.
As a result, this information is forwarded to the auction house, however, the item remains active in their auction without any changes to the description.
One would expect the description to reflect this new information, or the item removed from the auction.
Because the auction house was informed of this, and there is absolutely no gray area, is this fraud on behalf of the auction house to keep the item listed without making any changes?
