I'll tell you guys, that really tickles my funny bone. First off a
"contract" can be formed between two individuals without even signing a written paper.The basic act of demand and offer constitutes a "contract". Ebay, although an American based company, operates in Canada, thus being under the common law ruling and consumer laws. If it can be reached from Quebec , it also falls under the Civil Code which is very clear on the matter of cancellation of contracts. What Ebay has basically done is breach a legally formed contract between two individuals , regardless of the items or nature of the contract, and has literaly stepped in acting as third party and cancelled the contract without the consentment of the parties. That is a NO NO in any court of law. I think it's about time that people begin voicing out the abuse from this company who freely enfringe on foreign laws, use and culture. I am convinced that a simple complaint to your local Consumer advocate requesting an investigation will force Ebay to justify their act. Since 1994, Cyberspace and cybermarketing and exchanges are now integral to all Laws in Canada and Quebec. Ebay is no exception. I'm not trying to show off here mind you, I studied law a few years ago. Thanks -- " Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. " "cl" wrote in message o.verio.net... "Ed" wrote in message . 93.175... I will re-post it on eBay, but will follow eBay's rules and NOT post any FA on the newsgroups, not even rec.radio.swap. I'd be interested in seeing that particular rule.... if you would please provide a link. It doesn't seem logical to me that EBay would prohibit the advertising of their own auction on other sites, when such advertising can only further EBay's chance of increased profits through the EBay sale going as high as possible. Ed I've advertised FAs here just recently, my auctions weren't cancelled. I'm wondering if somehow, "maybe" someone sent E-Bay - the non tech wizards they are, a notice that perhaps your scanner was modified or whatever, to make them think it was illegal????? Just a thought. I've seen other FAs in here as well, none of them complained of having their auctions cut short. The ONLY auction "I" had cut short, was a "linear" I was auctioning off - listed as NOT working, the finals pulled, for parts. I listed it I believe for 10 meters, yet they pulled it. No big deal... But they've never pulled my auctions for posting FA. IF you have suspects in mind, I suggest you take it up with them. Why turn vigilante against the whole group? cl |
