I think it is fair to say that Ebay should be doing more to stop this, for one reason only. While they may not have the knowhow to spot a scam, they do not listen to people who do know. It is often said that Ebay users are the Police for the site. There is no reason why that should not work. But there is a reason and that reason is Ebay themselves. They either dont learn, or dont want to learn. We have a prime example on the go on Ebay at the moment. We got dana.rack stopped EVENTUALLY. But it took the Ebay users themselves by leaving negative feedback which snowballed before Ebay took notice. This was despite the links that we found quite early on in the scam. A total of over £25,000 was scammed by the seller, and as it was all in cheques, postal orders and bank transfers, it is safe to assume that the scammer got away with a lot of money. Just one day after that scam came to an end another one was started using the same method by seller mylistspeer. The same positive feedback built up with Sim cards and the same method of listing with the same medium value items. Okay, you might say, as soon as it is pointed out to Ebay they will put a stop to it. I have reported the listings about six times. I have informed the Police internet fraud team. Still it goes on. So far this week £6,500 has been scammed plus anoher £4-99 per item for postage. The scammer has learned from the last one by making the auctions bidders private, so they cannot be contacted. The seller is still getting the odd pos coming in, but buyers of the later items dont know that the feedback is all for past sim card sales. I know this because I have just checked on Goofbay. Ebay are in my opinion aiding and abetting by their inaction. I am convinced that both sellers are the same person, and it is astonishing that Ebay do not even suspend the listings until they have checked it out. That`s my rant over for the day.
