Dodgy site?

in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
https://www.freewebs.com/buy-sell-smile

Looks like one, especially associating it with eBay and accepting payments via paypal, not very professional either (layout, free web domain) and if it is a dodgy website how can they be reported?

I got this link off gumtree.com, this site seems quite interesting and have only discovered it a few days ago. Anyone got any stories, comments on this site?

Thanks,

    Just copy and past it into your URL. Its looks pretty dodgy to me, just wanted to know if theres someone who you can contact regarding fraudulent activity, or even POSSIBLE fraudulent activity.

    Reported to their webserver host as infringement of copyright. Hopefully pulled soon............

    I agree it's a dodgy site.

    But, I don't think anyone should go and alert eBay about this, especially after how they have treated us over the past few months.
