G'day
Just came back from emptying the local antique stores and missed the bogus
listing. I think it's been removed.
Was it the dark green BJ8?

Hi, Keith -
It's not so easy as having just a single button to push, and I don't know if
the Aussie version of eBay looks the same as the U.S. version, but this is
how I do it:
At the bottom of the eBay description for the car, select REPORT THIS ITEM
This brings up a menu. If you select EBAY MOTORS OR VEHICLE RELATED, as you
might guess, you'll just go around in circles. Instead, select FRAUDULENT
LISTINGS (ILLEGAL SELLER DEMANDS, YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE ITEM, ETC.)
This brings up a second menu. Select YOU SUSPECT A LISTING IS FRAUDULENT,
YOU DIDN'T BID.
Click the CONTINUE button.
This brings up a screen including CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
Under that is EMAIL US. Click on that link. Type in your User Name and
Password if not already logged in.
Finally, a screen comes up with the item number pre-printed in, and you have
a space to report your suspicions that the item is fraudulent, and your
reasons. Click the SUBMIT button.
This process is cumbersome and lengthy, but after you go through it a few
times you can click through quickly enough. I have found that the item is
usually removed from the listings within an hour or two after I report it.
I just reported a fraudulent BJ8 ad yesterday and it was gone within about
15 minutes. Since I track BJ8s, it's pretty easy for me to spot the frauds
quickly. I enjoy making the scammers wonder why their ads are gone so soon
after they put them up.
Happy Healeying!
