I reported it too. We need multiple people reporting it in order for eBay to pay attention.

Good work guys! It is amazing how many deceptive or downright criminal sellers there are lurking on ebay. Its 100% buyer beware or you will get burned in a second!! Reporting these things does make a difference and it seems to me that, with effort, the worst perpetrators do get banned.

Here's a great link provided to me by helpful LCR members which works great to report this crap just in case anyone doesn't have it bookmarked:

I sent a message directly to the seller asking him where he got the pics. Maybe he will respond.

Going along with this, it's 100% seller beware as well. About half the times I have forgotten to add tracking, the buyer tries to say they didn't receive it. With eBay's policy, they don't have to say anything more, and eBay with pull funds from your account and give it to them!

It certainly doesn't hurt to let them know we are on to them. However, be prepared to be abused by the seller's answer. 9 times out of 10 when I question these guys, its like poking a badger with a sharp stick. They know they are crooks and there responses usually reflect this.

The answers sometimes are the best part.

Hi, I sent this jack wagon a message and no response, what a fraud, these guys should be banned from ebay for life, it is just wrong to do this. I will report more when i find them and they are there, i look everyday trying to get a scam lol and i hope they hate me for it lol, that is why we are here to get rid of the garbage!!!!!!!. because of this stuff and i say it lightly without saying what i really want to say lol is the reason good sellers of real doubled dies and errors loose money, they do not know who to trust on eBay anymore, and good sellers loose because of this, we should make a campaign of it to get rid of the garbage on ebay, that way the real sellers make the real money and the buyers get what they pay for.
