Mcintosh scam

You reported this guy so many times you broke your button!

Don't worry, I just hit mine for you ;)

Thanks!
This is my second attempt (after being asked did you report it each time I say he's back), I think it was already reported and gone the first time, so this may have been my first good attempt at reporting it and I can't.
Not sure if it's me or my computer.

Edit---it appears it was me.
Evidently I was clicking in the wrong spot to get the drop down menu to appear in each of the three reporting categories.

Couldn't resist reporting it. You would think hijacking the account of a woman who sells knitting supplies would raise suspicions in potential buyers.
 
With my new found reporting ability I can now report them myself.
Still, just to maybe keep an AK'er from falling prey I may make a post each time he hijacks a new account.
 
Hmmmmmm for some reason the scammer didn't relist the Infinity listing that I always catch him on.
Are you watching here Mr. Scammer?

Or someone else already reported that listing.
 
I'm so computer challenged I don't even know what button to click on to contact the seller at his scam page. I see it says "hit the back button" or something but haven't figured it out.
Took me a while to even figure out how to report the scam listings.
But, by contacting the seller just to mess around/waste their time/whatever, does that give the scammer your ebay user name or any other "personal info"?

I noticed a boat load of scam Mac listings about a week ago on eBay. It's also worth noting that I see similar scam ads for ARC components fairly often as well. They come and go in waves.
 
Actually, I think one person did.
And another tried contacting the legit user and "thinks" notifications were sent to both the legit user and the scammer.

Almost 3300 listings, and the dozen I checked were the scammer, I doubt if many of the 3300 are legitimate.
Scammer sure is busy, hijacking accounts weekly and relisting thousands of items.
 
I spoke to an eBay supervisor this morning, and told them them need some kind of algorithm to detect crap like this. Only answer I could get is keep reporting the fraud, 'users are our best defense because of the sheer amount of listings'. In other words, we don't really care if you get scammed but we'll be there after the fact to clean up the mess. I guess it's too much to ask for them to be just a little proactive?

In any event, I'm gonna keep spamming this dildo till the cows come home. Maybe I'll set up a bogus email account at some point, so I can string them along a little father than usual. Shall I post my shenanigans for the enjoyment of all?

I don't take their response the same way you do. There are estimated to be about 25 million sellers on ebay with nearly 1 BILLION active ads. I'm inclined to cut them a little slack. But I do wish, as you said, that they could be a bit proactive when you're delivering these scams to their doorsteps.
