<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 523789, member: 12965"]The problem I see, is the members of the CFE Group collectively report these fraudulent auctions but Ebay is not doing anything about them and by us reporting them, they are now aware they are "possibly" fraudulent and by not reacting, they become a partner in the fraud and are now part of the problem, not the solution. What it's going to take is legislation to place liability on Ebay to get them to do something about the fraud, since, if you think about it, fraud makes them money and the old saying, biting the hand that feeds you, comes into play. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p> </p><p>I'd love to know what percentage of Ebay's revenues come from fraud but we'll never know that but we do know, without a doubt, that Ebay makes money off fraud and they turn a blind eye to it and all members here need to know they don't have anyone looking out for them on Ebay but themselve's!
