Is this a dodgy listing, if so how do I report it?

[i-once-was-bump]

I was looking for a shopping trolley, item location AUstralia and found one and thought there was a mistake in the price over $9 million so tried to look at the listing but instead got a warning about proceeding to the website.

I wasn't going to a website, I just clicked on the title and expected to go to the description page and remain on the ebay website.

If it is dodgy how do I report it because I usually click on repot within the listing.

Is it still active? The most expensive one in my search results (for shopping trolley) is only a couple of hundred.

Do you have the item ID, as I can't see it in Ebay search.  Even if it has ended you should be able to see if with the Item ID.

Double basket shopping trolley front swivel wheels

$9, 999, 990.00

It is at the top of page 9 and that is where it was last night. I am using my phone and I think there are 20 items per page.

Bump, with the full title I found it just now easily.

I got to the listing as easily as any other listing. I can't offer any advice or explanation as to why you got the warning about whether or not to proceed.

I didn't report the item, instead I messaged the seller through "Ask A Question" to advise/warn them of the price showing and hoped everything would go well.

Now I have searched their other listings and there are several things listed at this massive starting price - I wonder what could have happened to cause that?

Maybe they're out of stock of these items but don't want to lose their position in Best Match search, so they list with a silly price in the meantime to ensure that nobody buys these things. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me.... but I could be totally wrong...

Norton deems it ok , WOT ( Web of Trust) is showing green so it seems fine. 

I wish sellers were prevented from doing this , one item my OH has been watching went from $12.95 to $1290.00 and he nearly bought it ( half asleep I guess  . Just as well he came to check as he wasn't sure of his size

Price aside, it appears to be a standard eBay listing.

The history shows that 3 were sold earlier in the year at $90 each, with the last one sold for that price on the 6th of April, and the last change to the Buy It Now price on 8th of April. After 3+ months, although the listing has a history of 52 sales, I doubt the ranking it had is being maintained. In fact, upping the price to keep BM ranking would likely have a negative effect in that amount of time (sales to impressions etc affects BM, prices that are unusually high will probably get most people curious and click on the listing, but of course they won't buy - every time that happens, the BM ranking system takes that as the listing being ultimately irrelevant or unsuitable to the buyer's search and ranking takes a hit. That could also explain why it didn't show in a search for shopping trolley).

Well I dont know what happened last night because it was directing me to a non ebay website but all is ok today.

Thanks everyone for checking this for me.
