Getting outed for nefarious activities is one reason why certain collectors and scam artists will think twice about doing bad things, as are other repercussions.
It's all about adapting to the current threats and trying to foresee the future ones. Those who are defeatist and say "what's the point?" are of no help here, same goes for the small minded babies (whose comments I fortunately don't have to read thanks to the lovely ignore feature!) who throw their insults because they have nothing intelligent to contribute to the discussion. Ironic that these are the same people who would benefit from AHs changing the ways they operate to make things safer and better for the hobby.

So my question still stands
Has anyone on ebay ever been prosecuted for this type of activity? It is
not a defeatist attitude to say "what's the point" if little is being done to those that are caught. It's simply a point to question the effectiveness of ebay's "transparency".
If transparency is a "deterrent", I would argue so is prosecution. And to a greater extent than simply being "banned" one day to come back another. Some AH have been prosecuted. Has anyone on ebay? Inquiring minds want to know.
