I think the problem with eBay is that they have no real human beings in fraud prevention monitoring the ads--in the name of reduced head count, they rely on algorithms etc--but these slip through since they are done with stolen account IDs for sellers with decent feedback.
They have announced the new "outside links" policy--so in theory that stops some fraud but it is not fully enforced yet.
So eBay's answer is community policing--'hey flag the fraudulent ads for us, since we are too cheap to hire people to do it'. Assholes. If they really wanted to make this work they could at least give free 'eBay Bux' to the person that flagged the most, but nah, they're too cheap to do that either.
I've probably flagged a few hundred of these--in categories or searches that I get so mad at all the junk clogging up what I'm trying to look at, but no more.
