marco@ebay With respect, with regard to business sellers masquerading as private sellers, many of us have been reporting these regularly for months, if not years, and, in my own experience, action is taken in only around 20% of reports I have submitted.
You visit Seller Central and the Business Sellers' Board regularly, and you know how hot a topic this is, and has been for years.
eBay is clearly not taking the action they should be, and is overcharging (possibly illegally, as the sellers are trading illegally) every single buyer from these bogus sellers, on every single transaction. There should be no BPF on any of these sales, as you will no doubt appreciate.
Apart from anything else, eBay must be losing a fortune in uncollected fees.
You (eBay that is, not you personally) really need to sort this out.
Hi vinylscot, thanks for your input on this.
I totally see where you are coming from, but like you said above, it is within our best interest as a company to make sure that sellers a correctly registered, with one of the reasons being that, for example in this case, it could cost us profit in fees, so that with other reasons, makes us definitely review and actions these reports accordingly. However, we are unable to share the outcomes of these reviews for the reasons I've mentioned above. So, we can only encourage users to keep reporting anything that they believe might be against policy.
Thank you,
Marco
