Possible stolen merchandise
I would like to inquire about something I see for sale on ebay. I found what seems to be a ring that was stolen from me 15 or so years ago. I would like to know if it's the one. The seller will not tell me where he is located. I figured that would maybe give me a clue as to weather or not it would be the one I lost. I'm rather upset to see it on ebay and would like to recover it if it's the one I'm thinking it is. Is there any way I can get this information? It seems like the seller is avoiding me. Does ebay normally sell stolen merchandise?

As @rfmtm already mentioned, the Item Location is shown in listing … so you can find the answer to your specific question merely by checking the listing for the ring.
That said, people and items are easily moved … so knowing where the ring is currently doesn’t tell you whether it is yours.
eBay doesn’t sell anything itself. Whether any of the millions of eBay sellers have ever listed a stolen item … knowingly or unknowingly … I’m sure the answer is ‘yes’.
Have you considered purchasing the ring yourself while it’s still available for sale? [I realize that your questions to the seller might have caused them to block you.]
Could you tell if it is yours by seeing it in person?

Mentor1 year agoDoesn't the listing show the Item Location? Regardless, if you are sure it is your stolen ring you need to file a police report, they have special access to ebay to investigate.
