Ebay Scams Exploits

Conclusions: A large part of eBay report system is being abused by Sellers who do not like competitions by others, these sellers can get your account suspended and your items listing removed. The current eBay report system, can easily be used to remove competitions by making false reports on legitimate items, this can ruin anyone business and is a common dirty tactic used in eBay nowadays by crooked sellers, they well aware how easily the report system can be exploited to their own benefits. So far eBay only investigate a minority of reports, about 90% of reports are left uninvestigated and roughly 10% are investigated this is due to the fact eBay does not have the man power to investigate each and every single reports so therefore the job is taken by automatic bots system who will automate listing removals and reports etc So how do you fight this? To be honest you can’t so far my only option was to contact the other seller who was reporting my item and explained that I too will be reporting his item if he does not cease what is doing, after a report war that lasted 2 days he decided to stop eventually as we were both loosing money. Even when I contacted ebay and supplied all the info about my item, bar codes, sn number, still my listing were still being removed

    I am a seller who was victim of a competitor. Ebay did nothing. Paypal did nothing and Square Trade Charged me $19.95 per dispute only to tell me that they are closing the dispute because they are also leaving Ebay. They never refunded my funds.

    Ebay is the scammer.

  2. Thanks for posting.
    One more reason why ebay sucks bigtime.
    They are too cheap to hire their own people, and they have created a ‘breeding ground for vigilantism’
    Bad bad place to try and conduct business with all that going on. (not to mention the rules changing every day and announced changes taking place BEFORE the announced date)

    The only people left on ebay are crooked, or scammers (or maybe just fake altogether, like those listings) because no honest people will fall for that BS IMO

    This is ridiculis! We have monkeys that look at every single email we receive! Do you really think that our monkeys would let stuff like this happen? C’mon…maybe a report or two slips through the cracks, but when we get our customer service monkeys trained to be able to read…there will be no more of this!
