Banned items

[furnituresalvage16_59]

Hi. I have been reporting to Ebay the listings of MANY tower of london poppies, but they are doing NOTHING and these items which were originally £25 are being sold on her for £300+
Please can evrryone keep an eye out for them being lusted and bombard ebay with reports until they FINALLY stop allowing them.

Thats not my point. My point is that the items listed are BANNED and ebay are allowing them to be listed again and again, i report every 1, they say they will remove them BUT DONT

[furnituresalvage16_59]

These are sold and paid for. My issue isnt the price so much, its the fact that they are banned and when i make ebay aware of them they dont remove them. They promise to get them removed, but then dont!!

While you may be right about them being prohibited from sale [and they should be] they are not obviously on eBay's lsit of prohibited items [though they may be in the detail].

As said some people deal with these items by bidding silly prices [for which the seller gets charged a 10% fee] and then not paying.  If the seller does not know what to do he is stuck with the fee as a "punishment". 

The best that I saw was £64000 [22 bids] for a photo of a ps5!

In many cases these sales at daft prices are not real and sellers never get paid and unless they deal with it properly just end up with a large selling fee.

Some of the buying/bidding is from accounts just used to wreck these silly sales. If you looked back several months, you will find bottles of sanitizer sold for £1000s of pounds, I believe the highest I saw was £75,000, you can be sure that it was never paid.

Like a lot of overpriced items, seller can ask what they want, it is called supply & demand.

Doesn't mean to say item will sell, only that some people are stupid to pay these prices.
