Our old forum used to show how many views a thread had received , (some had hundreds of views) and since this new "excuse for a community forum" doesn't, I can only hope that at least half of the readers (those who don't post on the forum) are still around.

Buyers, read every thread about scammers and pass the information around to everyone you know, what to look out - all the red flags of a scam /scammers / criminals

Remember, if you purchase an item from these scammers/criminals, they have your details which are passed around and /or sold to other scammers. Think about identity theft

Put the title of the listing into a search and you'll no doubt see all the other scammers who are listing the same items

Just like the Makita listings .

While a registered pharmacy seller , an Australian business with perfect feedback, 56 k items sold ,had their account restricted from selling for 3, 7 and 10 days without breaking the rules in any way, they did nothing wrong ....

(another example) eBay thinks this listing 336677772070 is just fine, along with all the others.

82.8% positive and look at all the automated postive feedback from eBay

It makes me sick !

Notice how the seller gets removed, protecting a scammer endangering lives

Isn't that lovely?

Meanwhile the other scammer who posted here, who should have been removed gets to have their scam listings advertised AND someone who posted their email address because they did not know it would go public, four requests for that the be removed and it is still on display

eBay has individual batteries from $68 whilst the original Ryobi is $399.

I'd do as sandy suggests and report that way.

In my opinion, ebay should limit the sale of batteries and electricals to domestic sellers only. With serious consequences and bans for any seller trying to get around the rules.

But they won't.

You can click the question mark on the right hand side

BUT eBay will not do anything, eBay support scammer sellers selling death trap batteries, despite lying they are not permited

A VERY good reason nobody should ever buy any battery off a random eBay seller

There is another post by a scammer, who sells FAKE Makita batteries among other things, who had the HIDE to post here and wanted to know how they can get their money on the spot after selling fakes

It is disgusting eBay knowingly and fully support these scumbags

They especially won't touch this scumbag as they are registered in China

You say they have 100% BUT

211 of the 416 positive are eBay automated feedback (NO input from buyers)

AND

they have 43 revised feedback, meaning they have told lies to buyers in order to get negs changed to positives
