I certain UK seller has been listing paper money with fake overprints (with appalling success) for months/years.
ebay clearly couldn't care less, but then what's new there.
His notes seem to be genuine but the overprints on many are not. And judging from the feedback many people have noticed.
He also has a habit of pretending to post items that didn't get a high enough bid, leaving you to claim the money back when it inevitably doesn't arrive (reading feedback, and personal experience)
And to be clear, the vast majority of sellers on here (personally speaking) have been scrupulously honest.
There's a 'Report' button on every listing. Ebay can't just take your word for it, though, as you could be anyone - a competitor trying to bring the seller down, or simply a vindictive buyer. So if the seller is a UK business seller, report them to Trading Standards. And if they're a business but illegally trading on a private account, report to both Ebay and Trading Standards about that too.
Use Feedback to warn others and to alert Ebay. That's what it's there for.
Read Ebay's Money Back Guarantee if you haven't already done so. It's on every listing, in various other places across the site, and on your order confirmation.
You obviously have never read the Money Back Guarantee,although I expect many buyers have no idea what hey are buying.
Selling and not posting is not very clever either. Every time they refund they still pay 2.9% +30p to paypal and if they don't refund through a case they pay at least another10% to ebay.
Paying Fees for not selling, getting numerous cases and defects is not a very sensible way to sell on ebay. Everything is on file and ebay does not like sellers having high numbers of cases or defects 2 per 100 sales is the max.
