Jim, maybe everyone on the list should sent a communique to E-Bay complaining about the mis-representation..... which is what it is.

A mass receipt of e-mails from a group as erudite this one ought have some impact.

"E-Bay, we've got our eye on you.... for accuracy and veracity!!!

*accuracy:* accurateness, carefulness, certainty, closeness, correctness, definiteness, definitiveness, definitude, efficiency, exactitude, exactness, faultlessness, incisiveness, mastery, meticulousness, preciseness, precision, sharpness, skill, skillfulness, strictness, sureness, veracity, verity

*veracity: *accuracy, actuality, authenticity, candor, correctness, credibility, exactitude, exactness, fact, fairness, fidelity, frankness, genuineness, gospel, honest-to-god truth, honesty, honor, impartiality, integrity, openness, precision, probity, real McCoy, reality, rectitude, rightness, sincerity, straight stuff, trueness, truism, trustworthiness, truthfulness, uprightness, verisimilitude, verity, word
