"It's a pity the Trade Descriptions Act can't be enforced against Ebay
sellers!"
The Unfair Trading Practice Regulations 2008 replaced the Trades Description
Act in May of this year and can be enforced if a seller on ebay is
registered with them as a business. Basically, it covers false or deceiving
information, failing to give important information about a product and
agressive behaviour.
The Sale of Goods Act applies to anyone (not only businesses) who sells
Second-hand goods
Goods sold online or by mail order
Doorstep sales
Ebay or other online auctions or marketplaces
and says goods must be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for
purpose.
Unfortunately the Distance Selling Regulations don't apply to ebay sales
which would cover the return of all postage if goods weren't as described..
