7 easy steps for reporting items on Ebay

I have seen many people ask how to report suspicious listings on Ebay. Based on having spoken to individuals at the ANA and Ebay, following is what I believe is the best way to report suspected counterfeits, scams, etc. If anyone has other, better ways/suggestions, please post them here.

1) Click on "report item" beneath the square that says "Other item info" and contains the item number.

2) Under "reason for report" select "prohibited (banned items)"

3) Under "detailed reason" select "currency, coins, stamps.."

4) Under "additional information" select "fraudulently or improperly described currency"

5) Click on the blue box that says "continue"

6) Enter the item number(s) in the item number box, with a comma between each item number

7) In the "brief description" box, write "'counterfeit", or whatever, and if you have additional brief/specific information, add it too.

Good post - I book marked it. I usually end up poking around until I find it.

 

Thanks for the insight. I buy coins on eBay every now and then and have had no problems yet (thankfully), so I hope I can go on not needing these tips. But, if I ever do, I know where to come!

 

I don't usually report due to problems I am having, but rather, when I see scams or counterfeits.

 

Thanks Mark, every now and then I spot something that I think is worth reporting, but it always seems to be so difficult to figure out how to actually make the report. Will give this a try the next time around.

I'd like to see the ANA take Ebay to court for knowingly allowing these fakes on its site. If nothing happens, there will be more, and better, fakes that will seriously impact coin collecting.

 

Very obvious tips but very valuable at the same time. Thanks Mark!
