bad ebay listing; how to report

[Archive]

Posted By: Rob Fouch

I spotted this auction for a Turkey Red Bresnahan card and e-mailed the seller asking what the dimensions are.
His response:
"The card measures 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches."
That, of course, means it's a reprint, right? I've owned only one of these -- a Walter Johnson long since sold to help pay for my house -- and it was much larger. Anyway, I e-mailed the seller that I was quite certain it's a reprint, but two days later the listing's still there with the bidding already over $100 with eight days left.

How do you go about reporting something like this to ebay? I've tried to navigate the ebay maze but haven't had any luck. Hate to have someone hand over a chunk of change and then have to deal with all the crap involved in getting a refund, or have a novice buy it and think he's got an authentic tobacco card. Any suggestions on what to do?

I tried to paste in the link but not sure if it worked, so I also included the item number.

Thanks. Rob

Cool. Thanks, Jay. Does one report tend to do the trick? Also, all it asked for was the item number. I didn't see anywhere to explain why I believe it's a fake.
The trouble on that one is you can't tell, or at least I can't, that it's a fake by the picture because it's impossible to see the dimensions of the card.
