Doug received some comments regarding Ebay this past month - definitely a lot of dissatisfaction in their system on many aspects:

  "hi there is a woman on ebay who sells many shawnee cookie jars..too many to have just saved them...my mother purchased one of these in the puss and boots as a gift for my sister, when it arrived, and it took forever, it had gold painted on over the glaze. i don't think it is orignal shawnee... her name is fayes_southern_memories. have a look at her pottery and tell me if you think, it is the real deal...i have a feeling my mother was stooped..let me see if we still have the auction on our list ,if so i will paste the picture of it for you...grrr we don't ...the next time i go to my sisters i will picture it..7310762968 this is the item number. i will post the pictures i copied from the listing on this mail...when i saw the way this seemed to be written with a gold paint pen in modern writing not the underglazed one of my mom's i sort of cringed and didn't say anything...but i have a feeliiinnnnggg....please let me know what your thoughts are----<-<@"
Another - "I was suspicious about the cookie jar, but since it said it was marked USA on the bottom and had some crazing I thought it might be real since there are quite a few variations.  I emailed the seller of the fake cookie jar, but he/she never responded, no surprise.  I have contacted Ebay Customer Service  about this seller and demanded that they remove the negative retaliatory feedback from the seller on my record, and requested that they investigate this dealer.  I have since seen numerous other fakes by this dealer advertised as Shawnee.  The dealer seems to balantly disregard ebay's rules by knowingly misrepresenting their jars as Shawnee."
Until next month.
