I have started a thread for this, but want to include this information in the sticky as well...
This came up in another thread..... When reporting stolen photos if you are NOT the original seller, do NOT use the stolen photo reporting option. You will get the standard bla bla from ebay saying they cant do anything until the original listor contacts them. To report stolen photos, use option 3 in my post on reporting 3 ways (click below). I have repeated this at the end of this post as well. Option 3 is a generic fraudulent listing form, ![]() covering all manner of evils, and which does have a box where you can type a message. Because it is not the "stolen photos" form, you will not generate thiis standard response. When I report stolen photos, I start out this way: STOLEN PHOTOS!!!! THIS SELLER IS FRAUDULENTLY USING ANOTHER EBAY USERS PHOTO IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD BUYERS!! Please do not be complicit in this fraud!! No doubt this seller is going to either pass off a fake chinese _________, or the buyer will ge an empty box!!! Please see THIS listing for the original photos of a bag that was SOLD on ebay. You collected fees for this sale. DO NOT be complicit in another user defrauding a buyer and stealing copyrighted material from another reputable ebay user. Then I give all the numbers, the new listing, the old, etc.... I ALWAYS end by thanking them for their hard work. Make a note of the original listing, because eventuallly it will drop off the search. We just had it happen on another subforum, when a seller tried TWICE to steal another listors photos, by the time they tried it the second time, the original listing (the good one) could not be found. Luckily one of our members had made a note of it in her post, so we could get the SECOND fraudulent listing pulled as well. Here is the part of that post that addresses option 3 Scenario 3: Report as fraud Step 1: Select "Fraudulent listings" Step 2: Select "You suspect that a listing is fraudulent but you didn't bid" Step 3: This box contains a message telling you to click on "Continue". Click on Continue When the next page appears, click on "Email us". When the next page appears, you will see a box with the item number already input and a box titled ""Enter your question/concern". Write your reasons for believing that the article is fraudulent. ... I include the facts and language stating that the article is a fake, the seller is a fraudster and that eBay is complicit by allowing the seller to continue to list items. ____ I have to credit a member from another forum for this great information, but I am happy to share it and we are seeing results. YAY __________________________________ And, lastly, please, WATERMARK YOUR PHOTOS~!!!!! |

Argh Ebay make me so mad, I had a terrible purchase from a seller there. They sold me not only fake Tiffany items but fake Tiffany items with fake assay hallmarkings!
![]() I told ebay about this and they took action but now they are selling more of the junk and they wont do anything about it! They think it is just a personal grudge on my part, I've even been told not to contact them anymore, some buyers are going to be so disappointed.

Thank you for the information... do you have any advice for buying a fake off of a website which guarantees authenticity. The seller is giving me problems and am waiting for Gucci to send my bag back... had the Rodeo Drive store send it in to customer service for confirmation. Paypal and Credit Card company says I waited too long to get a charge back, bought the purse back in July =( . Don't know what else to do and don't know how else to get my money back. Anyone else go through this before? Thank you for any and all suggestions. =)

I hope you are aware ebay can only have auctions of fakes removed as long as the copyright owner is a member of ebay's VERO program?
If you don't see your designer listed, ebay will not remove the auction: Click her to see a list Bear in mind not all designers are members, to be a member probably involves some costs and a legal enforcement procedure in place. Not every designer is familiar with legal procedures, and some decide they do not have the resources to be a VERO member at this time. |
