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.

Correct and agreed.

See he also has a sword for sale.
I once posted a small dagger for sale in UK and eBay pulled it real quick and slapped my wrist!

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.

I've reported them as a bunch . . .

. . . and they should all be gone in 20 or 30 minutes.

I really like the two-tone Sub with the case stamped 18K . . .

All still up - why would a seller with 100% keep these up?

. . . in the past year, only two have feed-back for sales.

A skeptic would say they've been making a lot of tiny purchases in order to beef up their feed-back, waiting for the day to run the big scam.

Greed and a shot at a fast buck can make people do stupid things.


It looks like I may have to call San Jose on Monday.


Addendum: I've checked my eBay messages, and there's no record of my report going through yet. They're apparently a bit backed up.

Why do you say 20-30 min? We've been reporting these for days.
