Foxstoreauctions

I noticed a seller on ebay called FoxStoreAuctions. They claim to be the official store of Fox. Their feedback is like 480

Something really smells. We are talking one of the biggest multibillion dollar conglamerats in the world. I just cant imagine that Rupert Murdoch has to sell his dvds on ebay.

Hmm... well, A&E has an ebay store, and I can tell you that most of the big companies have people scouring ebay for any sort of copyright/trademark infringement (and I know this from personal - accidental - experience!), so my guess is.... could be?

I would imagine that if it were anything other than what the name implies, Fox and eBay would have been alerted by now, and the seller would not be active.

That was my thought to. They also do not appear to be pushing big volume. And they have a neg for being out of stock

Could be some type of franchise thing maybe?

Because they make millions in a number of ways and they want to add to those millions.
