Hi guys, I am not selling anything on Ebay, but getting members asking me Q's about push bikes. How do I contact Ebay to inform them that there is a problem with my account?
Thank you

Reported it all via Live Chat two days ago as they weren't getting removed and was assured Trust & Safety would
deal with them as everything was going to them direct.
Obviously they are as useless as the rest of their mob as a simple search would pick up any new listings and they
would be Emailed when new items appeared.
That hasn't happened either as they listed two more scam items with the exact description used on previous
hijacked accounts.

Apparently they are their listings team as well and going by the three new listings posted today they just don't have
a clue how to actually set up a basic search which makes you wonder how they think members search.

Yes it was, but now all sorted except for the A*********e that did this.

Seems like a dead giveaway is when stated "no paypal" that this is not legit.

Simple searches can easily find these sort of scammers and shut them down but eBay tends to move slowly and
some of those scammers can make quite a good profit in the mean time.
Unfortunately the Trust & Safety were based in Canada but along with other section eBay got rid of them via cost
cutting and so called improvements that made things a lot easier for scammers.
Most scammers now know to start listings on a weekend as eBay have reduced staff numbers then and off course
more people are home.
They've now dealt with all the finished listings except for the five from April,one from the 14th of May and the
last one from May the 24th but that means removal from the site and those members that were duped into
paying by bank deposit would've lost all their money (which totalled well over twenty thousand dollars).

With these they have been a bit more clever and hijack accounts that are buying accounts only or only sell the odd
thing here or there and they have a higher feedback score.
The latest one today has a 157 feedback score as a buyer only and has just netted them $3300 in a couple of
hours today between 6 and 8 pm for items that have the same descriptions for the two lots of cameras and five lots
of bicycles so obviously buyers don't check.
Previous ones had feedback scores of 85,1140,66,187,65 so no longer using low feedback accounts to hijack as
there are plenty of dormant higher feedback accounts out there that must be easy to hijack.

When I quit off eBay, I'm gonna have to find me a scammer to sell my login details to - with an established selling history and positive feedback, it's gotta be worth at least a few $$$ to a suitably motivated and morally vacuous individual!
But they gotta pay me by bank transfer in advance only - NO PAYAL!!!

$23.000 plus so far in less than a month is a substantial income for anyone working but this mongrel is getting it
through scamming and eBay just doesn't seem to have a way of stopping them as obviously the simple things
don't work for them and they will just fob it off as buyer beware and it's not their fault.
