eBay protects scammers because there is no way to report a fraudulent account to eBay.

I got a message from a scammer listed as being in Guatemala - and they want a quote to purchase and ship my expensive part to Almaty in Kazakhstan? Account owner has zero feedback, zero listings.

Yet I cannot report this fraudulent account, there is absolutely NOTHING in the Help or Customer Assistance pages where you can lodge a scammer account report.

Pretty pathetic, eBay! Typical corporate BS - all the right soothing words about how safe trading is on eBay - yet, no support when a scammer turns up!
