Yes, there's an awful lot to complain about on ebay, but I thought I'd share one item that casts them in a good light.

When browsing the other day, not looking for anything in particular (mostly wasting time, really), I came across a clear fake. I went through the link here on the site to report it, and sure enough, a couple of days later, got a message back from the ebay folks. They concurred, and removed the auction.

The moral of the story is that reporting items does work, if you see something that should be acted on, go ahead, you might be pleasantly surprised. They're not going to be proactive - if no one reports issues, the sellers will keep on selling the bogus items.

Yep, been saying that for years. Unfortunately most people would rather spend an hour complaining than 2 minutes reporting. Makes them feel better I guess.
Rest in Peace

You know what? That was really unnecessary. Seriously.

Indeed reporting does work, but I think many people just don't know how to do it properly or have had bad past experiences with it. The CCW group is pretty good and quick to respond in my experience. Also, unfortunately ebay does have plenty of things wrong with it, but what else can you expect from a big company? I don't really let it bother me any more.
