[OM] slander

=========================
I disagree with your remarks.  Slander is when you intentionally
misrepresent a fact known to be false with the intent to cause harm to one's
reputation and that harm is irreparable , in as so much that the individual
suffers a financial loss.
=========================

I don't think the misrepresentation or harm has to be intentional nor does.
If someone tells you something that is false, but you believe it
and repeat it to others, harming someone in the process, you
potentially could be liable for slander. 

More to the point, if this ebay seller has feedback describing some
of the problems, and bidders choose to ignore that feedback, there's
really little point in getting involved in the transaction.
