Why is eBay NOT preventing Fraud ??

[steviemurph]

I have reported on many occasions.
A fraudulent ebayer who posts adds of items they do not own. This is with a link to talk directly to them away from eBay. 
They post hundreds of Scam adds in one go. ( usually weekends )
I have report them to eBay. I have talked to customer service on several occasions for over a year now, and have suggested a fraud or Scam option on there Report an item. But they have not provided this. 
you still have to read through 3 drop down boxes to get their best option. 
It should be simple to do. ?

and quick 

and eBay should then act immediately rather than the several days it takes at the moment:(.

If it's taking several days,  then that's the time eBay take to investigate the claim,  they don 't want to remove a seller's account on sometimes a claim from a disgruntld buyer or a competitor,  so time is taken to investigate,  there are 25 million sellers on eBay,  it's massive,  everything takes time.

However,  I do agree that sometimes reporting and nothing is done,    or somehow the scammers find another route to open a new account which is somehow,  goodness knows how,  not connected to their original account,  now that is frustrating.

It is not just the speed of their Slow investigation.

It is the lack of a scam or fraud option on reporting an item.
And the person reporting needs to take time to go through various options.

It is also the same scammer with the same scam

Truly this is an uphill battle with these serail scammers on eBay, they're
clever.

As fast as eBay remove one they open another or two accounts, it is a
losing battle all we can do is to to report, eBay do remove them, but the
site will never be 100% free of these members.
