Does anyone know how to report a grossly misleading listing?

I've found two listings for RTX 3070 graphics cards at around £500-650 which are, it says at the bottom, only selling a photo of the card.

Obviously many unsuspecting people will miss that. One has about 20 watchers.

This is a known scam.  Yes the seller really does send just a picture, according to a recent article in Tom's hardware.

EBAY does not seem to allow this type of activity to be reported.  The reporting categories I have found are pre-written and inflexible.

hopefully I have missed something.

Thanks

Use the report button on the listing. It's about halfway down on the right. Probably the best reason would be that you suspect the listing to be fraudulent, but as long as you bring it to ebay's attention they will probably realise why you've reported it.

 

There were loads of these sorts of ads before Christmas where just a photo of an XBox 5 was for sale, not the console.

If the listing doesn't get taken down by eBay then if enough buyers end up falling for the scam and subsequently open Item Not As Described cases in relation to the item listed for sale then eBay will soon realise that something is amiss and remove the listing from the site, especially if other users have also taken the time to report the listing as well.

Buyers can always open a Not as described case, ebay will not query the fact that all they have to return is a photo.
