BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM NOW READING. IS THERE ANY WAY TO TRACE THE THREADS BACK TO THE SENDER? I WOULD LOVE TO GET RID OF THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HATE LIARS (EVEN THE UNSPOKEN WORD) AND THIEVES WITH A PASSION. [-X :^o


I am quite sure, with an operation as large as Ebay, that its information technology department is well aware of what this person is doing, how he/she is doing it and they are probably more aware of the situation than I could be looking at things from this end.

It still doesn't make it any easier for Ebay to stop it.

Hi..I've been Dealing with ebay for 4 YEARS on This.. Someone or Group that is responsible for this is Probably from US or Asia . THEY COMMEDER ( HACK) OTHER PEOPLES SITES. After Following for this LONG, I,ve been able to Tell what there up to.. ALL the Listings are Just a Cover for what there trying to scam...ROLEX Watches..Last Weekend there were 8 Rolex watches that had listings Taken Off site ,Saying that the item is NO Longer for SALE..Yea Sold OFF ebay .Now out of that 8, I DON'T Know How Many Actually ( STUPIDLY ) sent a Wire Transfer. LAST Night I Contacted ebay 5 Times Trying to Get 3..YEA THREE Sites Down..SAME items with 3 DIFFERENT Sellers... The sellers ARE GOOD sellers, Their sites have been Hacked. The BEST we can do, Hit Help ,click hacked account hit contact , click call me , and speak to rep..Give them #'s + you can hit Report Item ,click listings, then click Freuluent listings, and click ,you Believe listings are Fradulant....UNFORTUNALLY Some Reps Could Care LESS..ebay REPS that ontact you from UK..They ARE The BEST...I GOT this Taken Down 3 TIMES LAST NIGHT..WHAT PISSES Me OFF IT Will be BACK UP TONIGHT...AND ebay employs a Skelton crew on Sundays...Sometimes Takes 24 HRS to Take DOWN..I've Been SCREAMING at ebay for Years with Little Results.. Happy Easter...John

Not just Rolex watches.

Yes, you are correct, Rolex watches are one of the items that they offer for sale, well, really, offering real sellers Rolex watches, since the listing is a copy of a real sellers offering.

But that's not the end of it John.

As I said in my comment above, they are posting phony ads under MANY. MANY different categories.

And they are accepting direct sales on any of the items that they don't really own.

I assure you, it's not just watches.

It's any item in the over 8000 stolen listings that they put up in an instance, and they are usually trying to pop $2000 sales.

All they need is a few takers at any given time and they have made thousands of dollars, for items the buyer will never see.

I've been doing this for a couple of weeks. My best guess is 100,000. Most are 10,000 at a time that I reported . I report my eBay name.
