[QUOTE="FL_RacingGal, post: 184284, member: 7391"]Thanks airedale, Here's another eBay link for reporting COIN problems ONLY!! [url]http://tinyurl.com/5p4vz[/url] (I used tinyurl.com to shorten this link because it is waaaaaay too long for a message board) You don't have to go thru all those other links on eBay and do a general report. They rarely do squat anyway via the general "report a problem" link. Those very well hidden links on site map or even the one at the bottom of an auction page where it says 'Report this item" probably go to some bullcrap mailbox that is overwhelmed and rarely read. I think those links are just eBay window dressing to make it APPEAR as though they actually look into those reports. I have used the above link many times and actually see some kind of action taken. I use it alot to report excessive shipping by sellers. Sorry sellers, I'm going to report you if you sell one darn SAE for $5.99 and charge $17.99 shipping. That's a blatant attempt to circumvent fees and I'm not paying your damn fees. Then there are sellers who sell 1 oz. silver bars for $0.99 and charge $16.99 shipping and they will NOT combine shipping. I report them too. Ebay doesn't police it's own site so we have to. I sent a fax to good ole Margaret Whitman in the Spring of 2006 because I was so PO'd about private feedback.
