Pudsey Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi all, Just thought I would share my experience, which is still currently unresolved. I placed a classified advert on ebay for my car, and the next day it was brought to my attention that the car was already for sale by a member. I searched the advert out, and low and behold my car my advert, my description, my pictures, had been copied for a fraudulent advert. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-BMW-335D-SE-TOURING-Red-/291666956175?hash=item43e8b48f8f:g:HDcAAOSw5dNWopB4 I reported this 1.5 weeks ago now, by repeatidly reporting the item as fraudulent, and have even made a call to ebay customer services. They still have not removed the advert, and worse still it's seen about 1,800 odd views. Personally very disappointed indeed, and just wondered what you all think or perhaps anyone has experienced something similar. Buyers obviously beware as some unbelievable people out there.

MRX Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've reported it too. Maybe if a couple of different people report it they may do something quicker... Worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 When I've reported things which are counterfeit they've been removed in 24hrs, strange they haven't done that with this. MRX has a good plan [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks buddy much appreciated indeed, and it will certainly help that's for sure. When I've reported things which are counterfeit they've been removed in 24hrs, strange they haven't done that with this. MRX has a good plan [emoji106] I understand they may want to look into the account holder etc, but I kinda thought like you it would have been removed by now. It's practically two weeks this Sunday since I was informed. Thing is, if I didn't post an advert on ebay I would never have known someone was up to no good, so it must have been up for some considerable time. Cheers guys.

MattP Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The account is clearly not genuine it has no feedback etc... I have also reported the ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRX Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Looks like a few different reports may have worked. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
