Are designer accessories and clothing for sale on eBay the real deal? Most of the time they're not. Tiffany's has been fighting eBay for about 5 years over this matter. The jewelry retailer says its reputation gets trashed whenever people buy bogus Tiffany's merchandise from eBay. But so far eBay has been reluctant to take responsibility for the impostor goods being sold through its site. Clark and his executive producer Christa have been fighting about this point forever. She says it's a case of buyer beware, while he thinks eBay has serious responsibility to intervene here because they get a cut of every transaction. In fact, eBay used to advertise on its website saying that they have Tiffany's wares for sale. The case is now in court and a judge will rule on the matter.

Clark uses eBay about 15 or 20 times a year to pick up electronics and cell phone accessories on the cheap. One of his recent purchases was a cell phone charger for $5, which included shipping. He quickly contacted the seller when it turned out the merchandise didn't work for him. When he didn't get a response, he got online and gave the seller a bad rating for not following through on the transaction. Clark knows that he's getting aftermarket goods -- usually made in China -- when he buys on eBay. But potential buyers of designer goods need to know that they may be getting a fake online.
