Yes Eric! I saw the same thing as Anti. (one buyer getting multiple items for 7 cents). Scammers!

This seems like such an easily spottable scam - a simple algorithm would flag this seller in a nanosecond. One has to believe eBay is fully aware and is complicit in allowing their customers to be defrauded. The number of fraudulent auctions and scam-artist sellers just in the pearl category must be in thousands.

Completely agree with you, Jeremy. The problem is so widespread I no longer take time to report the fraud.

The only time I recall eBay cracking down on fraud was for items advertised as Tiffany when they were not; but we all know Tiffany has an army of attorneys, and they forced eBay to take action.

Maybe the proper tactic here would be to report this fraudulent activity to the FTC? Clearly eBay isn't self policing...so maybe the answer is to file a complaint against eBay rather than the individuals within the marketplace.

JP, I would totally support this, any idea how to go about implementing?
