In reply to 10) The BMC's responsibility lies in informing our members and the mountaineering community of problems such as these. BMC membership is around 70,000 and our FB post on this has reached over 90,000 people, so I'd say we're doing reasonably well on that score. Responsibility for closing down the sellers lies with Trading Standards. We're working with them to try and achieve this. Giving a negative Ebay review is of limited value, because the sellers use multiple accounts and will open new ones when old ones become compromised. We can promise though that we'll do what we can to eliminate this issue at source.
