How does the FTC determine if an ad is deceptive? What is the recourse if it is found to be deceptive?
How do they determine it? Not very well, obviously- there are a lot of deceptive ads out there that have been running for a long time. When you hear something like "If it snows, it's FREE!", but then find out when you walk into the store that it has to snow more in 3 hours than it ever has within 500 miles of that store, you know it is deceptive and that you've been had. But you're there already, and the law of percentages says you still might buy. There should be hefty fines for this kind of marketing.
Can a buyer save money by using the seller's real estate agent? Would this cause any conflicts of interest?
No, in fact they put themselves in peril when they do this. Even though most states have requirements &/or disclosures that must be given to a buyer before signing any contract, this situation puts the buyer in a position of being "represented" by an agent who already has a relationship with the seller.
Even though many experienced agents are very capable of handling this situation with complete professionalism, less experienced agents could have the possibility of favoring one party over the other if a complication arises during the transaction.
This will have NO impact on your costs or the price of the house if it is already listed with a broker, because the seller has already signed a contract estabishing what commission they are paying (regardless of whether the buyer has an agent or not).
If you're a buyer, it is always best to be represented by your own agent/broker and have someone looking out for YOUR best interests.

If you run a mail order business and/or take credit card payments over the telephone, you are participating in, what we call in the industry, MOTO Credit Card Processing. (MOTO = Mail Order Telephone Order). Essentially, this means that you collect credit cards in an environment where the customer and credit card are not physically present at the time of purchase. Another term used for this is card not present credit card processing. Who needs a MOTO merchant account? Businesses that plan on processing their customer's credit cards by manually keying them into a credit card machine, PC based processing system, or online virtual terminal. What it will do for you? Allow you to accept credit cards by keying transactions into a processing system. You can take orders over the phone, by mail, or other means where a customer's credit card will not be available at the location where the card will actually be processed.
If you have an Internet store or own a retail e-commerce website, you will need online credit card processing solution. With the help of an online merchant account and credit card payment gateway, you can give your customers the option to purchase goods with the click of the mouse, at any time, day or night. Bankcard Zone can provide you with an online merchant account and the ability to do online credit card processing, no matter how small or how large of a website you have. Who needs an internet merchant account? Any business that needs to accept payments on their website, or businesses that would like to use a virtual terminal to manually process transactions. What it will do for you: Allow you to accept credit cards through your website, or you can take orders over the phone, and through the mail by using the virtual terminal.
For years the payment options for mobile merchants were limited to either cash or check. Today, wireless credit card machines have given mobile merchants access to the same credit card authorization networks as retail businesses. This new technology has allowed the benefits of security and additional sales to merchants who previously had to handle cash or take the risk of accepting checks. As a bonus, wireless credit card processing is typically faster than traditional landline processing. And, since wireless terminals work off of the reliable Verizon and AT&T/Cingular networks, merchants can process secure transactions virtually anywhere in the country. Bankcard Zone has a complete line of solutions for mobile merchants or any business which wants the added flexibility and opportunity wireless credit card processing offers. Whether you own a small pizza delivery shop or a large concert vending service, Bankcard zone has a wireless credit card processing and merchant account solution for you
