Reporting competitors

[alexgolden35]

Hey guys, i have a problem with competitors, they are reporting my items and i would wanted to pay them same way, any good idea on how to report their items and lead to auction removal or even account restriction.
I am even ready to pay for best ideas which are really working.

How do you know competitors are reporting your business?
Until you have sufficient proof, its mere supposition to assume your competitors is doing so. Don't go hurting anyone armed only with suspicion.

On the other hand, If I had proof a competitor is going after me in that fashion, I'd either walk away or take down their account altogether if it's worth it. Playing ping pong against a competitor with eBay moderating has never been an option for me.

they are not going to report your listing if there listing is active, reporting there listing will only lead to your listing removed, it's most likely being a picked up by ebay's system (bot)
one way to to keep listing up if you think it has been reported is to click into there listing and select "sell it yourself" keeping title exact and use the promotion tool if possible
that way your competitor will not report as it will be in the "similar sponsored items" within his listing
I strongly advise not to use the report button it's childish and will not help you if you wish to continue selling that product.
