eBay/Craigslist Another Ebay scam

Shortened very lonk link title
It's been a while since I've been in Ebay, and looked all over for the fraud reporting, but kept just finding tips on how to stay safe. Anyone remember how to report?

Shipping costs, .39 cents US Postal Service, yeah right, they must have listened to Cliffy on Cheers. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There is a link at the botom of the listing "report this item"

I did.

Thanks guys. I didn't even look on the listing. I was too busy trying to find the info in the "help" section.

The auction has been removed now...

I also used "ask the seller a question" to let the real member know his account had been hijacked.

I did that before I posted on here. I sent him one telling him that I thought a scam was on with his name, and then, as an afterthought, I sent him a link to the auction.

Never heard anything back from the account owner though.
The stuff he was selling was far from tractor related.

I found one "buy it now for $2900" last week that actually attempted to load a virus (according to McAfee) whenever I pulled it up. Not only that, but the "report" button had been reprogrammed to send an email to the same address that was in the listing, instead of to ebay. I finally gave up trying to report it.
