There has to be a better way to get these scammers reported and their junk removed from the site. All the watches have had significant figures bid. Its still shocking that bidders with significant Ebay history are willing to see past the side-stepping claims for what he's selling.

Just hit them again with some special attention.
FWIW I did get an email stating that the folks who monitor the reporting program are going to be away for the holidays.
So, things might take a bit longer to get pulled than normal for a while.

Every scammer on the planet probably knows this already.

Probably.

Just to clarify, there will still be eBay agents working/available to handle the "normal" listing reporting duties, so it's still worthwhile to report bad listings over the holidays. However, there some folks that have access to a specific team/desk at eBay that expedites things. That is why many listings get pulled so quickly. Anyway, it is only those specific folks who will be gone temporarily. So, bad listings will still get taken down, just not as expeditiously during the holidays.

Yeah pretty ridiculous. I even messaged the seller asking if he has them authenticated. He says no, but brushes off any word that they are fake from me. Makes me think he knows they are fake and acts uninformed since he has all those bids. Sickening.

That watch is as fake as a three dollar bill.

Let's just hope for your sake that someone else with deeper pockets than you is as ill-informed as you.

Look closely at the blowup of the picture below on ebay and compare with any one of the myriad authentic Rolex watches on this site, or better yet, the Rolex site.

I've bid 17k on three of them. I'm worried about doing all of them but I might. Otherwise someone is going to get robbed. Can't let that happen right under our noses.

I'd think you'd run a greater risk of getting dinged for shill bidding than of having to pay for anything.

I've just asked the seller for a guarantee of authenticity on the brown Sub, and when he declines, I will forward his response to eBay.

I'm not really worried about paying. Also, he writes in his listing that he can't guarantee the authenticity which in itself is not allowed on ebay so i can use that as my excuse.

So, there's no doubt in your mind that these are fake?
