This feels like it may be a scam. What do you guys think?

Stock photos, but not sure what we can report as.

I'd say he doesn't have a tangible item to sell. I can't find in the drop down menu where this is specifically mentioned, although I know it used to be, but I do think it is against ebay rules.

Reported as: Listing Practices -> No Item Listings -> Other No Item Listings

Strange.

You could go:

Report Category = Listing practices
Reason for Report = Fraudulent listing activities
Detailed Reason = You suspect that a listing is fraudulent

That way you're only affirming that you 'suspect' etc and it gives them reason to check it out.

Tried the suspect fraud approach - we'll see what happens.

It hasn't worked so far alas. I note that 2 of the seller's last 3 transactions were neg/d for not being posted after payment...

Reported again.

At £330 ($522) with18 bidders.

eBay UK have been pretty good recently at taking down counterfeit or suspect auctions but this one seems to be continuing despite numerous reports of potential fraud.

One to keep an eye on I think :popo:

Yes, I'm also monitoring this one, eBay have been very quick on those reported as fakes but they seem ok with this, which surprises me.

Well, they didn't pull it, and it went for £2850.
