Hi there - browsing some vintage stuff on eBay earlier in the week I spotted an item which was listed as genuine 60s and 'true vintage', but actually isn't at all. The tags, sizing, etc show it is actually from about 2000, so while it may be 60s style it ain't as it has been described.
I emailed the seller and politely said I was sorry to point it out, but the item wasn't quite what it seemed and gave the reasons. The response was 'oh I must have made a mistake, but seeing as you must be interested, get your bid in and don't email me again unless you are interested in winning the item'.
This has pissed me off - yes, I can understand someone doesn't want their mistake pointing out, but now's the time to correct it surely? Just because it's on eBay doesn't mean this isn't misrepresentation and a buyer who thinks they are getting something which is genuine 60s vintage will be getting anything but.
The description is still as it was originally, two days later.
