why does ebay not bother when fraud is reported

neiltracy00 — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 14:12:47 GMT

i have reported the same guy over weeks selling fraud autographs. he does them himself, and some sell stupidly £100 at a time by people who dont realise. His stuff looks like a 2 years old did it, they dont even look like the actual autograph. I have reported many times, nothing is done. Why is ebay allowing this to happen.

It is the foolish buyers who need to open a NOT AS DESCRIBED CASE. If there is no record of dissatisfied buyers, why do you think ebay is going to take your word?

adding to john1297576 advice -

you are playing with fire reporting other sellers as you are a business seller trading as a private seller in violation of eBay rules and the law.

The home made DVD's you are selling are not allowed and possibly illegal depending on the contents.

With respect, you could just be a competitor or anyone reporting a seller, there's no substance to your report.

Buyers need to open a not as described return if they think that they've received a fake autograph, if they're not opening them then it indicates that they're happy with their purchases.

Quite frankly, if people are daft enough to part with £100 for a fake autograph then more fool them. Anyone with a good eye for copying signatures and a pen can write a name.

I'm not sure what you expect eBay to do here if buyers are happy with their purchases?

So basically i am the bad guy, because thats the way it comes across. Your post makes me to be the possible bad one, like the last **bleep** reply which was lies, i am not selling fake dvd ?? So in trying to do good in maybe stopping that one person buying fake goods, i am made out to be the bad one ?? really ?? well the day I hear one of this useless community buys fake goods and gets humped for 100 quid, I will be laughing into my tea. i feel more or less the guilty party here, what did i expect mind you . me a competitor ?? against thousands and thousands of sellers. This faker is selling as original not pre printed or whatever and I am made out to be the bad guy. ah well, lets hope one of you get stung you will then realise someone like me was trying to stop at least on faker. Garbage as was expected

It's unlikely that anyone here will 'get stung'.

Nobody has made you out to be the the 'bad guy', and I haven't mentioned anything about DVDs so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

The point I'm trying to make is that you have no provenance whatsoever as regards reporting a seller who you believe to be listing fake autographs. For example, if you were Tom Cruise and spotted a fake autograph that you didn't scribble, and your manager or agent contacted eBay, that would have 100% provenance and it would be impossible to argue with that.

Why do you think that eBay should sit up and take notice, out of curiosity? Verified buyers can leave feedback or open not as described returns if they're not happy with their purchase.
