Counterfeit Bows on Ebay

[Martin Sheridan]

It's shameful that Ebay doesn't police itself better. I've seen more fraud on Ebay. Last year a very well respected American maker tried to get them to take off a listing for a cello with his name that he didn't make. He was unsuccessful. If the maker himself can't get Ebay to remove a fraudulent listing, there's not much hope. For some reason many instruments with spurious labels are coming from sources in Germany.
