Ebay Fraud Reporting Link

I just had contact with TWO fraudulent sellers from the "US" suposedly now living/visiting Italy. I know a lot of people here have complained about how difficult it is to find the route to reporting to eBay fraudulent actions, etc. Here is the link that gets you qued and ready to go...
I hope this helps and as always remember buyer beware!

Yeah,
I could not believe I got two in one day. One seller said the guitar was at the eBay warehouse to be inspected before he gave instructions as to where to ship it after its sale. :lol2

Yep, got a good laugh out of that!:lolspin

The other sellers name had to do with "being a buckeye" so I asked what that meant and they replied they did not understand the question. Imagine that?!

FYI - I just received an email from eBay indicating this link is only good for current listings and it will not be forwarded to the apropriate department. I see they are very concerned with fraud and customer service. THANKS EBAY!

Given the rash of fraudulent Les Paul auctions on ebay which have been discussed at length here, I found this topic very helpful and relevant to the sunburst pub. If you see a scammer selling a fake LP on ebay, you now have the link. I know that I have seen people search all over hell for a way to report stuff on ebay before regarding les paul auctions.

If the software would let me do it, I'd change the title to "How to report a fraudulent Les Paul Auction to Ebay". It won't allow that so it stands as is.

We used talk of the old days when people got along.

Now we talk about the old days when we could talk about the old days of when people got along.

I think it was a good call to keep this in the Sunburst area, people need to be informed of this stuff.

That's both a profound social comment, as well as a great line for a song if we have anyone out there writing originals!!

1959burst - For the record I would have generally added this to the Off Topic area but I am not a subscribing to that area of the forum. So my question to you is...given my options where would you have me post this thread?

By the way the link provided is actually the correct link but it comes down to which selection you make in the first "box". They (ebay) doe not spell that out to well.

Peace Brother! Just trying to be helpful.
