TeeJay Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I believe there's a 'report' tab on the auctions which you can use to notify eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Under the "Sell Info" and "Other item info" boxes on the right, there are 3 icons. One is a flag "Report Item". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks I did it but I kept selecting the wrong options but got it right in the end. It kept thinking I had bought it!! I must of been having a bald moment. They dont give you many characters to describe issues..... Do they get back to you with decision or does it just get taken off assuming it does that is....

panerai153 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sometimes Ebay responds pretty fast to reports of fraud, sometimes they seem to ignore it. Some brands like Rolex, have staff who do nothing but watch Ebay and other auction sites. If they call, it disappears in a flash. One of the best deterrents in the past was the ability to contact the bidders and warn them that they were bidding on a fake. Ebay in it's infinite wisdom, chose to make all bidding anonomous by using the coded bidder information. They claimed it protected bidders, but in my estimation, all it protects are the scammers who frequent Ebay. Another thing, buyers are idiots sometimes. Greed gets in the way of good sense. This seller has 20 feedbacks. Go in and look at what they are, DVD's ,Xbox games, he's buying Ebay seller templates, etc for 2 cents each!! this guy has a total of 20 transactions and the total dollar value of all 20 combined is not 100.00 USD. He's running up positive feedback to make folks think he is legit.I wouldn't buy a Timex from an Ebay seller with that sort of vague seller history. Some poor greedy fool is about to get a harsh reality lesson. The item is relisted, probably because the first buyer realized it was a fake and threatened to open a PayPal dispute. If he could prove that it was a fake, Ebay would ban the seller, who would immediately register with a different user name, Email address, Etc. But he would lose all his hard won + feedbacks.

PeteM Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I just hate the idea of this bloke getting this money for his overvalued crap and some poor bas**rd getting that rubbish in the post, especially at Christmas! For all the tells mentioned I thought the sizing might give it a sus look I thought a 125 was a 40mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just sent another report to ebay, and advised them that I will point the VRO at it. Also said I hoped ebay were taken to task! See if that conjures up any movement. O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks, I dont know why but this seller has really got under my skin! I reported again myself. I am not sure why they limit you to so few characters in the message box! Whats VRO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Whats VRO? VRO or VeRO as ebay call it is the organisation which holds the rights to the name ie Panerai in this case. VeRO = Verified Rights Organisation. O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr mg Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 reported. up over 700 pound now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Six hours to go and almost 800 Pounds. As I said before some poor sap is going to be a giddy happy buyer, until the watch arrives and he shows it to someone who knows something about PAM's.....then, he ain't going to be so happy. Hopefully he wil be smart enough to take it to and expert and have it checked out before his return time expires. Ah! Another key scammer trick, I just went back and looked at the auction "No Returns accepted". No legitimate watch seller sells without a return privlage. He will have to open a case with Paypal and Ebay and maybe in a few months he gets his money back, but I wouldn't count on it. I bet this seller has had multiple Ebay ID's. He pulls off a big scam, gets banned and resurfaces in a few weeks witha new ID, sells 30 DVD's and wala, he has 30 + 100% Feedbacks, ready for the next replica sold as a genuine.

panerai153 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I wonder if the high bidder is really pi...sed off that this bargain was removed right before he won it. He should be grateful that there are a few folks out here who care enough to spend their time trying to get the scammers off Ebay, and to protect the idiots who refuse to do their homework, and ignore all the warning signs that start with "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't" Good work guys Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur spot on panerai. I checked out his feedback too. these guys have to be traced by ebay better to protect the community. Last I saw the item it was up over 1200 pound. Can you imagine getting stung for that much! I wish I had watched the seller. I had the item listed to watch, but of course now it's gone, I have lost him too. I would have liked to check him out every now and then to see if he was having another go. -No faith in ebay.... great work guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
