ebay are supposed to be removing lots of scam listings for ps5's but still lots of listings on site.

This problem has been highlighted in the media and ebay have said they are removing them but still lots on site. A sheet of paper is listed and bids have reached a staggering £7.700. No way of contacting ebay in person to make them aware only by individually reporting each one.

Those bids will not be genuine, but the seller may be caught with a huge selling fee.

No payment will be made, only person who might lose some money is the seller, although as it is probably a Hacked account, although ebay can charge a fee, they won't get paid.

This is what you get in a lawless, "Wild West" site where eBay won't take any responsibility for checking listings.

They rely on other users to do this for them, and even expect them to report each listing individually.

This has happened before when eBay fails to act on scams: once again, vigilante buyers have stepped in to place absurdly high bids to (up to £10k now!) to wreck these auctions, and leave the sellers with huge selling fees.

It's unbelievable that eBay has let this happen, ensuring the worst possible publicity just when it's advertising heavily to promote Christmas sales.

EBay has the technology to scan massages and listings - they use it to check every message between its millions of members for evidence of fee evasion. They could have done the same to to identify the current blizzard of easily recogniaed, copycats scam listings for a "PS5 photo".
