when you see something like this on Ebay, report it to them immediately. They're very good about pulling accounts.

I did write to Management, but, being an Ebay Newbie thought there was probably a Better Way that I didn't know about. scarlettina, wiser in the ways of Ebayness knows where they keep the reporting tool and isn't afraid to use it.

I reported it too - am wondering if this is the shithead who wa offering pirated stuff on DVD before, acting under a new puppet account....

Ahh...if you scroll all the way down to "other options" right before the screen goes from white to blue at the very bottom of the page there is a "report this item" which will take you to a set of drop down menus describing various possible problems with the item. When you get to the one you want there will be a link to report the item - for which you'll need the item number.

The relevant link in this case seems to be http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html

I wonder how many people have to report it before EBAY leaps to take it down? I know they will eventually, but they haven't yet.
