eBay: law is, mostly, on your side

An article by Christine Riefa published in The Times, June 13 2006.
What are the legal rights of World Cup fans who have bought fake final tickets?
FOOTBALL fever is upon us. While the unauthorised resale of World Cup tickets became a criminal offence in Britian a few weeks ago — prompting www.eBay.co.uk to ban the sale of such items — tickets are still available on other eBay sites.

Note that an unfortunate typing error found its way into the article. The sentence: "Bear in mind that for audio and video recordings or computer software, you can cancel only if the goods are unsealed" SHOULD READ "Bear in mind that for audio and video recordings or computer software, you can cancel only if the goods are NOT unsealed".
