<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 523657, member: 15062&quot;]I hate to burst you all&#039;s bubbles but Ebay probably will never spend much time reading this, or any other forum.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They are very close-lipped about their business but best estimates are that they have something like <u>13 Million new listings per week</u>.&nbsp; They have simply gotten too big to properly manage their business.&nbsp; There is absolutely no way that they can properly police all the listings they get.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We here deal with the coin listings that we see but coins are probably <u>far less</u> than 1% of their listings.&nbsp; There&#039;s simply no reason why they would, or should, hire 5 or 10 people simply to manage the coin listings.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If they did that, they&#039;d have to hire people to police the Stamp and Currency listings, the toy listings, the antique listings, the automotive listings, the doll listings, the clothing listings, the Jewelry listings, the book and document listings, the photograph listings, the tool listings, the electronics listings, the CD/DVD listings, the games listings, the machinery listings, the military memorabilia listings, the glass and china listings, the figurine listings, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Face it, it ain&#039;t going to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way we can effect any change is to continue reporting on a case-by-case basis.&nbsp; Even those may not get immediate response because they&#039;re also dealing with complaints from the other types of listings.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Fact: Ebay will not take the lead on policing coin auctions.</p><p>Fact: They will <u>possibly</u> take some action on reports received <u>with enough lead time.</u></p><p>Fact: They will <u>NOT</u> take action on listings that are not reported.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the hundredth time, if you see a fraudulent listing - report it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have <u>constructive</u> suggestions, not criticisms, write to them (phone calls will be ignored).&nbsp; If you tell them simply that they should do something about Chinese counterfeits, that suggestion will get no action.&nbsp; If, on the other hand, you present them with a <u>logical and workable</u> programming suggestion that would detect counterfeits and that would also skip non-counterfeits and would not require hiring additional employees, thay may actually listen.</p><p><br /></p><p>write to:</p><p><br /></p><p>John Donahoe, CEO </p><p>eBay Inc.</p><p>2145 Hamilton Avenue</p><p>San Jose, California 95125</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: John Donahoe recently replaced Meg Whitman as CEO but his tenure is currently in question because ebay&#039;s revenues <u>only</u> increased by 4% in the 3rd quarter of last year.&nbsp; That, plus <u>seller&#039;s</u> complaints have put his continuing leadership in question.&nbsp; If you write to him you&#039;d better do it quick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
