[QUOTE="cesariojpn, post: 474550, member: 11408"]Sure we can! For starters, we have his eBay ID. Make enough complaints, eBay either has to shut his account down, or tell him to follow the rules and then shut his account down if he doesn't comply. Secondly, the fact that it is blatantly listed in the article that many Chinese Sellers are actively violating FVF would perk-up eBay ears. Think about it, if you were eBay, and you find out a part of your site is leaking profits faster than a broken Dike in Holland, wouldn't you want to take some action to at least curb the loophole abit till you can make the major repairs on the site (i.e. cook up some postage calculator for China, bot that redflags suspiciously high S&H auctions, etc.)? I find it headshaking that Wikipedia has hundreds of bots that can identify vandalism, illegal images, and reformat tags embedded in articles, yet eBay has no system setup to even "adequately" report such auctions like this!! Thirdly, if eBay doesn't want to act, then get the Feds and Media involved. While eBay can claim their only a "Venue", they can't escape Federal Law or public scrutiny. Get some Attorney General wanting publicity with a copy of the Hobby Protection Act, or some Talk Show Host about a " sensationalist" story about fakes on eBay, and eBay will cave into public outcry.[/QUOTE]
