Well, no... Leaving good old common sense take a break, even rough 'facts' make a huge difference: Ebay rules don't rule out fraud, let alone rip offs; sellers only have to be as frank as their buyers are smart (or informed about pearls as it were). On a forum like this, there are no big numbers to hide behind and then... there is Zeide!
OK Ebay for the weird, crazy, twisted pearls that could be an 'acquired taste' rather than grace billboard advertising. 'Couldn't get them anywhere else.
At least, these are my rules of engagement with FleaBay - can well afford to miss out on the positive exception, can't imagine how much one would have to spend on failed 'experiments' to get that one true bargain from the chaff
