-wiping surface
-being touched with panty hose
-soaking and rubbing
-scrubbing and rubbing
-spitting and rubbing
***now the extra good stuff known as "altering"
-trimming
-cutting
-rounding
-pressing
-whitening/blackening/yellowing/"shading"

Do you realistically believe that all of these issues will be disclosed by the new eBay brokers?
Nope. But I would say that these new brokers probably will not be so "trusted" that people will buy from them blindly without questioning. PWCC and the majority of consignors are a haven for this type of activity. Hide behind the curtain so to speak. And let's see where this road leads.

If the trimmers/brokers had to use their own accounts it would be easier to decipher or at least call out the sellers to avoid.

If and I say If it turns out PWCC is in cahoots with the Trimmers, (I consider if they are aware who is trimming yet still allowing them to use their service without question or scrutiny) then that is a huge issue.

Let the trimmers be outted. If we knew who the seller of the Mantle was and they listed the card, they would be put on blast just like PWCC. And I imagine they wouldnt create a Tenant to defend the alteration..
