    Why so bothered? Everyone has a choice as to whether to buy or not and what I love about ebay is that you can always get your money back. Or is that just me? If I'm not happy with things I buy on ebay, I just complain to ebay. No problem at all. You're not going to get anywhere with this type of reporting and complaining. You only have one life, why waste it on this? It isn't important. Not in the scheme of things.

    his seller has dozens of items from scrapped caravans and they are all listed as new!  I am sure it is not a mistake but in spite of reporting this seller and several others nothing is done!
    How are you so certain they are not new? Did you buy some that turned out to have signs of wear on them? Maybe they came out of the caravans when they were new because someone wanted to change them and have sat in storage for a while.

    In 2015 when I had a (very old) car, I needed a part for it that was no longer manufactured, and the last time someone had ordered one in the UK was in 2002. Still, I was able to source a new part that had been sitting in stock for that long! And it was definitely new. Hence why I find it strange you are so certain because unless you purchase it yourself and can point to definite signs of wear, you *cannot* know for sure.

    I also find it a strange crusade. As you evidently have time on your hands, a better crusade would be to report all the Chinese sellers of small items who claim to have UK stock but their delivery times clearly show the stock is coming from China. (I have no problem with sellers being in China, I have a problem with them lying about having stock over here - and each time I've given one a chance, the items haven't turned up. Items I've bought that actually say they're coming from China have almost always turned up, with only one exception in the middle of the pandemic.)
