Several people are describing Phone recharging packs with impossible mAh capacities for a unit that will fit in your pocket. Up to 900,000 mAh. Not everyone knows that these values can't possibly be true. How do you get these sellers to tell the truth?

Not shopping with them would be a start. Buyers MUST use some common sense when shopping online.

That said, with billions of listings on Ebay at any give time it's near impossible to keep the bad ones out. The only thing you could do would be to report the listing for deceptive listing practices. (something to that effect, the exact wording escapes me) Ebay will only act if they get reports from multiple Ebayers.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

I agree.

The seller is either too stupid to understand that he is selling the equivalent of a "perpetual motion machine" or too crooked to care.

Report Report Report.

But eBay won't pay much attention to a single Report, because the reporter could be a competitor, or a mischief maker, or just plain wrong.

It will take many reports from many different members for eBay to take action.

This can be remarkably fast. We often see complaints from naive buyers who have fallen for a scam listing that they can't Dispute because between their purchase and payment, eBay removed the listings and the seller from the site.
