Need some helping reporting this guy...

I hit "Report Item" on eBay but it only gives me options that don't apply to this case (counterfeit, prohibited items, etc). BTW-In general what categorie(s) do you pick to report a scammer like this?

Link 1:

Link 2 (Stolen Scan/Ongoing Scam):

from the menus - Listing practices/fraudulent listing activities/you suspect the listing is fraudulent.

it would be nice is they had a place to write a bit of detail like stolen scan and the other auction number.

What's up with all these scammers with the name "pimpin" in their user id? Here's another thread we discussed the other day about a scammer with the username "slimpimpin84."

I guess pimpin' really isn't easy because they still have to scam to make money

Steve i don't know what menus you are talking about, the only link i know is "report an item" and from there it is impossible to report a card scammer, all the options available are irrelevant...

That's weird. I reported it by clicking on the report item link on the right side of the listing. That brought up a section with 3 pulldown menus. Selecting listing practices in the top one activated the second one etc.

Were you trying to report from somewhere else? That could be it. I can easily see Ebay having inconsistent features.

I've found that the quickest way to get a listing like that removed is to email the (real) seller and inform them that someone is using their scan to create a bogus listing. Include the item number or a link to the auction for easy reference. For some reason eBay gets on it a lot quicker when it's the other seller making the noise rather then just some random person.
