Something else you may want to consider is using multiple accounts to report your victim. eBay may find it easier to ignore one report of suspicious activity, but imagine if eBay received reports from multiple accounts that a particular seller is acting suspiciously - they are much more likely to take action!
You could think of it this way. AOL was a big deal in the mid-90s. Many of us on AOL that figured out how the TOS system worked would band together, or use multiple phished accounts, to report other AOL members (our online enemies) and have their accounts terminated this way. It was ruthless and devious but it was oh so sweet to terminate people from AOL.
For the 5 years that I was on ebay as a powerseller. These competitors banded together to complain to Ebay with fatuous claims (photo doctoring, counterfeits, item not as described etc). You can BET YOUR BOTTOM dollar that ebay counts the number of complaints, valid or not, and takes your auctions down and THEN investigates.
The rogues knew this (just like on AOL in the old days) and got their horde together once ever few months or so and did this to me. |
