Thanks for posting that. Even though it's taken far too for the law to catch up and apply to internet sales, I think it's finally going to pick up steam soon. All it will take are a few more prosecuted cases and hopefully that will have enough of a chilling effect to scare people.

It is about time. I just retreived $585 back from Paypal for not receiving a Gucci bag. It is really irritating, you look forward to getting something and it never comes.
Not to mention the fakes, please make it stop!!
