This is the message I received shortly after reporting a listing for fee evasion today:
What happened:
We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.
The listing in question had only one photo, and that was a picture of the seller's name, address and contact details. The seller had a postage charge of £200 and stated they had put that so that no one hit the 'buy' button. (I can DM a community staffer the item number if you would like to check it out)
So, basically, if anyone wants to buy one of these, they just have to contact the seller on the number/email shown in the listing (there is no photo of the item), and the sale can then take place outside ebay with the seller not having to pay fees.
Apparently, according to the message, this is not in violation of ebay policy.
Can someone confirm that if I list the stuff I currently have on Facebook (collect only items) on ebay, with a picture of my contact details, £200 P&P and a message saying not to hit the 'buy' button, I will also not be falling foul of ebay policy?
Hi kempseykate, thanks for your question.
Without looking at the listing, I'd say that listing would be breaking policies. If you send me the item number here, I can send it for further review.
Thank you,
Marco
