For several years eBay has been allowing sellers who are openly fraudulent to continue to trade. There seems to be no mechanism for reporting them. Even the 'Report item' function does not have any category for fraudulent listings(!!!)
Is there a method I don't know about?
e.g. I would like to report this seller queenslandermate who has for the longest time been selling a whole selection of fake seeds: http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/queenslandermate/m.html?item=172239551767&hash=item281a46fd17%3Ag%3A2swAA...
How is this done?
Thanks.

People have been reporting and complaining about all the fake seeds on Ebay for years. Nothing has, or probably will, be done. We all just sigh now and hope people don't get taken in more than once.

You can buy the mould to make your own.
Another look................and no, they're still there! Dammit!!

I am really annoyed with the 'saffron crocus' seeds which would fool many people who don't realise that saffron crocus do not produce seeds. The seeds in the pictures are actually safflower seeds which is a feed grain.

One of the main ones that started selling the Rainbow Rose seeds has feedback of over one million now
and their latest gullible members have bought 3869 lots.
One of their first listings sold over ten thousand lots.
eBay don't care if members get scammed as it brings in money for them and reporting them is pointless.
When you read some of the plant forums there are members there that have actually tried to grow them and
early on some have grown weeds from the seeds.
