Clip from ebay announcement by the VP of Policy Management. Announcement was from Thursday. I wonder if it was b/c of the NYT article scheduled for publication today. At least it will address one of the frequent frustrations of people here - the maze you have to go through to try to report a fraudulent item. So... some progress.

Although ... I think some of the ideas posted here are even better.

Making it easy to detect policy violations
One of the most important ways we learn about listings that violate our policies is through reports from other Community members. You've told us that the process for reporting suspicious activity has been too cumbersome. So to make it easier for members to send us these reports, in the spring of 2006, every item page will have a "Report this Item" link at the bottom of the page. This link will bypass the Contact Us flow and take you to a list of possible reasons why a listing needs to be brought to our attention. It will save you valuable time and help us review the listing quickly.
