It has become apparent to many in the Stamp world that the ever present issue of rogue sellers on eBay is starting to reach epidemic proportions. Of late this has manifested itself in sellers who are copying images from legitimate online catalogues from well known auction houses and then offering these images up on eBay as items they have to sell.

Clearly they do not even own these items and their provenance and whereabouts is verified by the legitimate auction houses who sold them but it seems that even though many of these fraudsters have been reported to eBay they are still openly selling items they don’t own.

If you fancy a read that will make you think twice about buying nice stamps on eBay, or if you know of any journalists who are looking for a decent story, then take a look at the tale as it has evolved on Stampboards
