    We've become a nation of petty minded snitches....

    I have never had a problem informing people if they are doing something wrong, surely its better to do that then let people abuse a system

    All these reports & it's still showing more than 24 hrs later.
    Nice to see Ebay are concerned. Thought perhaps as it was fee avoidance they may pay attention. Was wrong.

    I see the reporting system has got better with a discription box

    Reporting items over weekends is pointless, as ebay T&S are not available to deal with them. That's why most scams start on fridays...

    I have just telephoned the ebay helpline number and the CS I spoke to said he would report it to T&S which might have a speedier response.

    I just feel we should all play by the rules, expensive as they are.

    Surely its not just a case of fee avoidance though. Am I right in thinking if it goes missing in transit or is a fake or faulty then paypal wont refund postage so the unfortunate buyer would only be able to claim a fiver.

    no that's not right. if a claim is successful paypal refund the full amount paid including original postage. the only thing they don't refund is return postage costs.
