Resolved! Helping a Seller with an Insurance Claim

How do I report non-authentic items, such as fake video game cartridges and antiquities?

Auctions are frauds!!! Important!!!! Don't bid an auction before you read this!!!

First, a small introduction: I've placed a bid on an auction in eBay, I won the bid, and then the seller canceled my order. Innocently, I thought that won’t be a problem since eBay is a large, decent e-commerce platform. But I was proven to be so wro...
