Thanks to all who pointed these out. I sure think that the listings are deceptive and I did report that to eBay. Jennifer is correct that I used to try and handle these myself. But, eBay has become pretty unresponsive to some of what I have reported in the last year or so and I don’t think it would hurt if a lot of you, if you agree that some bidder is going to get burned, reported these as well.

Just to add to this, I sent the seller a question earlier today… Asking if these pieces were repaints or if there was a signature on the felt pad….. The seller just sent me a photo of the bottom pad…… Which has a signature that looks like Melody’s…… But clearly it’s not. 🙁

All reported. Wonder if they’ll claim they can provide a factory COA too if asked.

Wow really?!! That’s just plain deception. I didn’t know that was going on. How awful!

Got a busted Windstone?

Can you share the photo with us? Or, at least, email it to me or John?

The seller has now added this to at least one of the listings:

“On Feb-05-13 at 11:04:45 PST, seller added the following information:
I purchased this from an estate auction, it was sold as painted by Melody Pena. They did not come with a box or a COA. There is a signature on the felt. I am not an avid collector, so I am not able to access if it is authentic.”

I still don’t trust that, I’m sorry but I have been burned by people enough, and the painting done on all of these Windstones looks not only new, but as if it is exactly the same 3 or 4 colors used on all of the repaints. The entire thing just stinks.

How would one report this, anyway? I don’t see anything coming close to describing the reason that this should not be sold on ebay.

If an item on ebay has a misleading title or the description is not accurate, you can report the listing. I like to tell sellers, it’s less hassle for them to change or end their listings than have someone win something, not be happy, ask for a refund and file a claim against them on ebay later.

Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

There’s an option that covers exactly this situation, now that the seller has added that authenticity disclaimer.

Category: Copyright and Trademark
Reason for Report: Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer
Detailed Reason: Disclaimer about the authenticity or legality of an item

One item seems to have been pulled, but I just reported the remaining 3.

Perfect, LIH. I’ll go report them again with that reason. There’s just no way those are authentic, but to someone who doesn’t kinow…someone’s going to get burned for a sizeable chunk of money if we can’t get ebay to pull the listings.

Thanks LIH! For some reason I did not see the Copyright and Trademark option on the one I was looking at, so I was pretty confused! XD
