OZtion have a legal obligation to remove obvious fraudulent and infringing auction listings without need for third party contact, they also have the legal right to remove any auction listing of their chosing yet they refuse to excercise that right in cases of clear fraud. It is high time that OZtion administration change their strategy regarding clear and obvious fakes on their website, so that fraudulent listings are taken down without delay and without the need for users themselves to search out and contact Registered Rights Owners (if possible) on OZtions behalf for listings showing clear and obvious signs that they are fakes, as there are instances where it is very clearly obvious from a sellers writeup that the item is fraudulent, these should nolonger be ignored and should be acted upon under the law.

Fair Trading when contacted, said OZTION must take all means to act if they believe or have complaints that the items selling are fakes - they just ignore their Sellers who are trying to keep the site honest and above board - SHAME ON OZTION MANAGEMENT YOU WERE TOLD OVER AND OVER - so if you take the a cut in commission from these goods would that legally and technically make you an accomplice with prior knowledge up your sleeve????????
