It's a real ****er. You can notify ebay of things they SHOULD be
watching,
about scummy sellers, about lots of things, and they don't do
squat.
All
you get is an automated e mail. Then, there are sellers who
deliver, who
have good feedback ratings, and who try to go by the book.

And it's those guys they go after.

Go figger.



That's not my experience. I've notified ebay several times
(probably
half a dozen times) of items that are either copied from some
other
part of the world, or are obvious scams and in all cases they have
pulled the adverts. OK they give automated replies, but they've
taken
action.

YES! Ebay is a great company that gets right to the bottom of every
complaint and ferrets out every bad apple.

Sarky !

I can only say as I find - I've done best part of a thousand eBay
transactions since March 2001, only one went pearshaped and paypal
sorted it for me and got my money back. In every case of dodgy ads
I've reported, every one has been pulled.
