Interestingly, I check out the seller email in PayPal transaction, and found out there are a lot of scam listings/seller accounts goes by the same email prefix, proshop*some-number* (I have been observing 2-3 such accounts created daily). The number has reach 4xx makes me feel sick thinking how many may have fallen for this trap. Everyday there are at least 2 such accounts opened and put up same type of listing. It's amazing such organized scam has been going on for god-know-how-long.
Anyone knows if there's a way to report to Ebay/PayPal this type of repeated fraud?
This is their new report proccess for reporting hassles with sellers and fraudulent sellers

eBay in their "wisdom" have removed all the guides so that's another 5000 odd ways that Google wont pick up
things on/for eBay,(means all my guides are gone so I no longer have access to all that info and anyone
looking for that info can't either),
The problem is that eBay have removed everythig that could be used or was helpfull in reporting scam listings
and getting them removed,(the Email option,the brief description box and now also the report links that I
had in my guides).
This is the time of year where you'll start getting more scam listings as the scammers see it as the best time
to list their item,(people/members are more likely to to try and grab something cheap from eBay without
checking out the seller).
As most are listed for the weekend they also know that any reported listings wont be removed,(which has been
the case for the last few years as they don't have enough staff to cover it all).
Three years ago there were a 150 scam sellers and each who listed 8 to 10 scam items at low prices in a 2
week period but some took over a month to get removed,(the estimated "sales" that they had was over 180
thousand dollars).
If that were to happen again now the most likely outcome would be Aussies out of pocket by over that amount
and the scammers having the freedom to do whatever they want,

Housekeeping... I've heard of that. 
(Ta - it didn't even occur to me that was the issue 
I thought they meant for the day, as another site limits how many PMs you can send per day).
I have to delete often, it keeps nagging me, and I can't send anything until I clean it out.
Spoiler
I do like to keep some for blackmailing purposes though 
Thanks but I'm well versed in the report links as I've used them often enough,(don't do phone calls well as I was
born in Holland and learned English there so still have an accent that can be difficult to understand),
The only one that suits for scam items is the Listing practices > Fraudulent listing activities > You suspect
that a listing is fraudulent,(which has: The listing has items being sold without the owner's authorisation.
You didn't bid).
Which used to have a brief description box where you could explain why the listing is fraudulent,(that box was
removed over three years ago and that only left the Email option as a way of reporting scam listing and that
was removed as well a few months ago).
Others that have the brief description box can't be used to report scam listing.
Most so called Trust & Safety personnel have no idea why a listing could be fraudulent so the brief description
gave then the clues as to why it had to be removed,(by removing that box they left their T & S personnel in
the dark and now 80% or more of scam listings aren't removed quickly enough).
I reported one recently for over 3 weeks before they finally removed it,(that was using the report links),
Reporting individual items takes to long and when using the Email option they were given a full description
of the seller and why the account was hijacked or freshly created,why the items were fraudulent and links to
all of their listings,(the 150 plus scammers all created accounts in June,July and August and some bought low
cost items to build up feedback but most still had the 0 feedback score when they listed the scam items).
Got part of that but had to use translate for the rest,(came here when I was 11 and haven't had much to do with
the Dutch language since,(been back to Holland twice but most can speak English and we got things accross
between my oldest brother and his wife).
Tryin to explain that my son had a green tree frog ended up with him on the floor imitaing one and he's 6 foot 4,(
in the end they got it as Kermit the frog/kikker),
