And adorable_lil_thing, no one is attacking you, we understand E-Bay can't do alot about it, but at least JK is trying to spread some light on the situation.
I'm glad you understand. But, reading many of these posts it seems that people Do NOT understand that Ebay can't. JK was the first one to say we need to contact Ebay to complain, so I don't think she fully understands either. If she had just said "Do not purchase signed HP merchandise off of Ebay due to countless forgeries" I would not have even posted in either thread about this.

If not for that, and people following through, I wouldn't have said anything. I've posted the Ebay User Agreement, when one uses Ebay, they admit Ebay cannot control it all and agree to not make a claim against Ebay. Jo needs to contact the sellers, through her lawyers, and talk to them. Not Ebay.

I decline to post my opinion on Jo in this as many fanatical fans in here would not appreciate it.
