  • Wish I had thought of it! Ebay fees are quite high. Obviously the seller is a MSE too!
    The best way to escape a problem is to solve it :j

    It was very easy for me to report this as it is against ebays rules. Watch the listing be removed!

    Why do people on this board think it is the god given duty to report other people, probably the net curtain brigade who gaze out of the window and phone the police every time a stranger walks down the road.

    So, this person is trying to save themselves a few quid in fees, Ebay is hardly likely to go broke over it, big deal.

    No , I don't think I have the god given right to report people but when they do things like this it gets right up my nose . I had a listing removed as I put "like new" in the title . It was something I had taken out of the packet , realised it was no good and put it back in the packet and stuck it on Ebay . My listing gets removed but I bet if no one had reported this one it would have stayed on . Just my opinion .
