New Totals Needed

[MatrixWatch]

eBay Watch Dogs,
There are some new developments happening with eBay and I need your totals. By "totals" I mean the total # of auctions you have shot down, as well as the amount of sellers NARU'd. Any other details would be appreciated.

It would be nice to have some software that would keep track
That would take the Email from Ebay and extract the time, auction number, and add to a list. Then go to ebay and check every few hours.
Even a program that would do a search of certain listings where most of these type auctions show up at every 3 hours then search each of these listing pages for telltail words and phrases that we all know. Wait shouldn't Ebay be doing that. Then they could have a person just check the results to confirm and remove or let stay up. I'm sure after a while they could refine it. Would it be that hard for them to do that? I would think it could be cost effective in the long run.

Maybe Ebay could charge them for a listing that is removed if it's a an info listing instead not charging them for the listing.
If they did it a second time that would be charged $20 and 3 times they are gone.

Auction canceled, 22,994 as of today.. with 174 reported and just waiting to be canceled.

This is not a true number because of the many sellers had 8 to 15 pages of auctions and they were counted as 1 cancelation, number is over 24,000 if actual auctions canceled were counted.





Sellers NARUed 392, with more on the way, it will be over 400 by the end of next week.

A few have been reinstated but are NOT selling info anymore, and a few have been re-kicked off for selling info again.

Alot of the sellers are from hurley9192, I don't know if he keeps a total on auctions canceled.

[hurley9192]

I haven't kept any tabs. I just report them. I've reported way over 1000 auctions and I can go down PD's list, but I wouldn't remember too many that aren't on his list.

It still feels like I'm not making much progress because they keep relisting the auctions. It's a never ending battle. I wish that ebay would have something that would review the auction before it goes up. That would be alot of work, but would cut down almost all the scams on ebay.

[peterdragin]

WE are making progress ! the number of sellers kicked off is saying that.

I know how many because when I get an email back from ebay on the auctions I report, I send them to a new folder in outlook that is for auctions canceled. Well I have two folders , one for auctions that are reported and another for auctions canceled.


Sure these people keep relisting them and if we keep reporting them they get kicked off ebay. It just takes time sometimes to get them off. The more different people that report the same seller the faster he is gone.

Alot of the sellers that are kicked off are because YOU have been reporting them also. Thanks for the GREAT effort Hurley !!!!

Do you get an email from ebay when the auction is cancelled?

I get one usually when I report it, but I will sometimes report 10 in a row, not in the same complaint, but separately, and only get one email.

Actually, I know we are making progress.

However, I never saw anyone from those golf club sites, rsient and prizemonkey come in here asking for refunds. There were over 1000 that were left hanging on that deal.

[peterdragin]

I always put the seller id in the webform when I report the auctions, so I can check it in a few days to see if it was canceled.

Ya I wonder what happen to all those buyers, and at 45 bucks a pop that a big chunk of bucks.
