You need to warn all your Ebay members that Scammers are using what looks like a genuine Ebay Site and nearly had me conned as I was not warned.....Save a few people being scammed. It is now your responsibility. Thankyou

There are a lot of scammers these days. It is not a problem specific to eBay. There are many stories in the news of people who received messages from institutions that impersonated their banks and have lost all their life savings.

We always have to be extremely cautious these days. If you landed on a site impersonating eBay, you either clicked on a link in a phishing email or it was the infamous fake eBay Motors on Facebook.

It is not eBay's responsibility though, or the responsibility of any other institution. If somebody impersonates you for example, you would not consider yourself responsible either.

Ebay does warn people in their help section. They explain (for example) that their real messages are also on eBay (in your inbox), so if an email you receive claims to be from eBay but is not in you eBay inbox, it is most probably a scam. This is just an example. There are more warnings.

NOT A SOLUTION...PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO BE WARNED...NOT GOOD EBAY.!

eBay do not read here, as has been said.

People are and have been constantly warned , all over the eBay site there are numerous warnings 

How did you reach the fake eBay page? (where did you find the link to it?)

Yelling at other members is not going to help anyone

Ebay does warn people, not only about phishing emails (as said yesterday), but also about eBay Motors scams. https://pages.motors.ebay.com/buy/security/

OP, tell us how you expect eBay should have warned you. I am curious because the warnings are really all there.

To add to what has been said, posting your full name on a public forum is a sure way to attract more scammers

Which is why you were warned when posting here, via the big banner at the top of the page not to post personal information such as your name

Could have been a really nice bridge Padi.

Ugh. The wretched unfinished post posted by mistake.

1. We are not eBay. These are Community boards; you’re posting to eBay members who are relatively active in posting on and reading these boards. We don’t have the power to warn all eBay members.

2. Even if we did have such power, many people would not listen, or understand, or apply the warnings in their activity.

3. This isn’t an eBay problem. Scammers make fake websites of banks, the ATO, Amazon, Australia Post, etc. Any organisation or agency or business that can be used to lure victims will be copied with websites, phone calls, emails, chats, etc.

4. it isn’t true that you weren’t warned — unless you have refused to read the news or watch the news. It’s all over the internet and social media as well as the news. You just didn’t pay attention … and sadly that is the problem. People - especially the most vulnerable - don’t pay attention, or just don’t make themselves aware.

5. I’m sorry you were nearly scammed - and glad you didn’t go through the hell of actually being scammed.

6. Be careful. Your ID may now be compromised.
