The ‘Report Item’ function is bugged like everything else on eBay recently. ---

I remember a story (and I have no idea where I’ve seen it, I believe it was on tv) from probably a decade ago where a guy also tried it with a car’s motorblock (perhaps via Craigslist. Again, I remember it vaguely). It ended up with the buyer traveling to the house of the seller. So even if everything is ‘technically’ legal, you might end up with an angry buyer on your doorstep… But with PayPal payments nowadays, it’s easier to get the money back compared to back in the day when you had to travel through a few states… ---

> [@genosha](#): > > The ‘Report Item’ function is bugged like everything else on eBay recently. I noticed the same on [ebay.com](http://ebay.com), but I was able to report him on ebay.nl without a problem. Only the US/international eBay seems to be bugged… You can report someone for false advertising titles, which this clearly is. Greetz, Quuador ---

Well if it was bought for 3k and is returned or cancelled. The seller is out 87.30 USD since PayPal doesn’t refund fees anymore. ---

I reported that scumbag and sent him a message. I would encourage others to do the same so some unlucky soul doesn’t get stuck with this bs.
