Interesting 'Terms of Sale' found in eBay listings
« on: May 22, 2009, 02:58:24 PM »
I have often come across some interesting/odd/demanding Terms of Sale info on eBay listings. I NEVER buy from the ones that have long, demanding Terms. But I do like the ones that have 'interesting' info.  :yess:

The seller states "only PayPal" but clearly has no idea about the risk he/she is running with these unenforceable Terms of Sale. Not only that, but clearly this seller rates her time (re "handling" quite highly; a child's PVC toy train that couldn't weigh more than 500g is listed with P&H of $13.65 (registered post).
