Same item. at least 9 separate listings mixed as auction and fixed price from at least 5 different sellers

Review ebay multiple listing policy for clarification

I see nothing that suggests that one of each is a violation.

What part of the policy do you think is being violated by having the same item listed as auction and fixed price?

Could be because the rock looks the same in all the listings and all that has been done is slightly change the angle of the main photo. 

Copy and paste the title of the listing into the search box.

It's not a violation because all those listings are from different seller IDs. (I do suspect that they're likely the same person or group of people.) But as listed, there's no violation of the duplicate listing policy.

Yup, pretty much looks like the same Chinese scammer using multiple accounts to rip off multiple people at once.

Unfortunately reporting the individual listings will likely have no affect as the bot can not see the big picture and individually the listings are fine.

Maybe somebody with more knowledge has a good way to bring this to ebay's attention?
