    but they are describing what they are offering to a tee.

    The item they are offering says, right on the front, states ".999 Fine Silver One Troy Ounce".

    << <i>A quick refund from an ebay seller for a fake when the buyer raises the issue means they knew it was fake that refund is hush money

    My point exactly. Funny how some are misinterpreting it. I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm not involved, but I feel it is important to place fault where the root of it is, which in my opinion is with the sketchy eBay seller.
    I'll let it rest now before it somehow gets twisted that I am condoning what alibaba is doing LOL. I think i've made it pretty clear that I don't like what they are doing one bit, but they are describing what they are offering to a tee. If a potential buyer can't see that clearly, that's their own fault.
    The fault is with the greedy basturd that purchases them from alibaba and then re-sells them on eBay as genuine KNOWING they are fake, and then instantly refunds when the slightest question is raised. >>



    That sure sounds like you are condoning what alibaba is doing.

  • Sounds like Alibaba is the counterfeiter , and The ebay seller is the fence. Blatant, commercial counterfeiting right under our noses.

    If there were any kind of indication that the bars were copies/replicas/clad/etc, sure let alibaba make all the crap they want. But selling them as clad with no indication on the actual product that they are anything but pure .999 silver is ridiculous.

    YOU'RE OUT OF LINE FOR SAYING THAT, and it has been noted, trust me on that.
    How F'ing clear do I need to be when I say I DO NOT LIKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING, but they are describing what they are offering to a tee?

    It is very clear to me. They are offering a bar that says .999 Fine Silver One Troy Ounce but it really isn't. Doesn't matter how they describe it. I can have a VW beetle in the driveway but just because I call it a Ferrari doesn't make it one, even if I add a Ferrari badge to it.

    If there were any kind of indication that the bars were copies/replicas/clad/etc, sure let alibaba make all the crap they want.

    +1.

    Or if the item actually said something along the lines of "this is only pretending to be one ounce of pure silver".

    And to think I wasted post #2500 on this thread.

    I agree, If bars are plated, they should be marked accordingly.
