Counterfeit Items Being Sold on eBay

[whitemongoose1999]

There are currently a large number of listings selling counterfeit items on eBay. These are counterfeits that come with tens of thousands in fines and jail time for each instance. Can I be connected with a member of eBay's upper management about this issue?

Full disclosure, I am looking to be compensated for an effort in helping remove these items, even if it means shorting the stock and contacting the appropriate governmental agencies. But I also would like to limit eBay customers' exposure to the fraud, so a quick response is appreciated.

eBay isn't going to pay you to get items removed off eBay. They know there are many counterfeit items and use their AI to remove legit items. So maybe you could help them to fix the AI that seems to run rampant on flagging legit items

EBay is not here and they will not read your post at anytime. 

You can report your suspected listings from within each listing.  That is all the help you can supply and will be doing that for free.

'compensated'...my buddy worked at eBay for free for the experience...after about a year he finally started to get a paycheck....I live in San Francisco like my buddy.

He did get to ride on the free eBay bus to eBay headquarters...one of a few...very few perks.

Large number.. you realize eBay has about 2 billion items listed on it at any given time? Only way you’re getting paid to help them is to get a job there. Report a listing is your friend if you think something is counterfeit but eBay’s going to make their own decision with the information they have.

Learn about eBay's VeRO program here:

You can contact the rights owner of any counterfeits you find if you want to help them. eBay will remove the listings when VeRO members request it.

Are you a certified expert on these items, with credentials?

If he doesn't have the credentials can he buy counterfeit credentials on eBay?

Thanks for the chuckle.  Most didn’t catch the sarcasm 🙂
