Counterfeit note reported, ebay did nothing
Saw this obvious fake note on ebay last night https://www.ebay.com/itm/226898193718. Reported twice with the report link on the item page, within 20 minutes each time I get an auto reply stating
"We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence."
I then called and spoke to a live person, who then connected me with a "specialist" who said she would get the proper people to look into it. The next day, the listing is still up. The listing ended with no bids, but seller relisted again with a BIN and it sold. Does ebay just not care that blatant counterfeits are being sold?

·1 year agoReports other than Item Not As Described claims on the Ebay Money Back Guarantee are usually noted and ignored.
You are an unknown quantity and your report is not evaluated by experts, in general, Ebay has no experts.
If the counterfeit is obvious and never sells, there is little likelihood the listing will be taken down until the seller decides to move on to some other scam.
