Couldn't you have made a formal report to eBay about this person Laurie. After all trying to sell machine made stuff and pass it off as handmade probably amounts to fraud if it is done repeatedly. If it is a one-off thing it could be called a 'mistake' but not if it is done all the time. There are also consumer protection laws that would put the person out of business as well. Karen in Malta

I once dared to suggest privately to an Ebay seller that a 'handmade white Chantilly shawl' was actually machine made. After formally banning me from his site, and after his wife repeatedly told me to do something more productive with my life like trying prostitution, and then explaining how he had handled 500 such shawls in his life, he finally ended up threatening to strangle me with a pice of Chantilly lace. All I could say was that I hoped it would be handmade. Laurie - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
