How do you report fraud to eBay? They make it so hard & dont do anything. Zero feedback seller with 9 items for sale, 9 different backgrounds

Using a different background on every item does not prove anything If you want to get involved the only way that I know is buy one of those things and see if they send it and if they do not then you can make the appropriate report.

What do backgrounds have to do with fraud?  A little more info would be helpful.

I believe ebay actually furnishes different backgrounds sellers can use for their pix.

9 different backgrounds?

How dastardly!!!

(I haven't used that word in a while.)

Ebay makes it very easy to report a listing you feel there is something wrong with.  What about the background is causing you concern?

When you are in a listing, there is a "?" icon on the lower right side of the listing.  Click on that and then just select the appropriate reason you need to file a report.

Well, I see TWO different backgrounds in your listings. 🤔

Maybe because not everything is always fraud?

Is anybody besides me thinking that if our heads weren’t attached, half the world would be walking around headless? 🤔

Are you absolutely certain that that isn't happening now?

@1comicgeek 

Were YOU defrauded by this seller or you just making unfounded assumptions?  If YOU were defrauded, please give us more details so that we know what you are talking about. 

If YOU have not been defrauded, why are you worrying so much about him?

[soh.maryl]

Your appropriate use of the word "dastardly" is to be applauded as well as lauded!

Shouldn't we start a thread using semi-obsolete words, bringing them back to life, so to speak.

Care to explain where the "fraud" comes in?

I used the word "dastardly" in one of my posts last week.

No one else has mentioned it, but to give @vintagefinds the benefit of a doubt, there is always the possibility that the buyer dropped one of the pieces and broke it when he was unwrapping it and then claimed it arrived that way.    Or he might have had a broken one and found this one to replace it.  No way to prove either way, poor packaging or buyer's dastardly deed.  Of course, on eBay, it doesn't matter; the seller has to make it good.

I think half of them  already are headless if you if you see what is going on out there.👽
