I want to note for the record that Ebay's system of dealing with reports of possible criminal activity is flawed. If something is a honeypot meant to catch criminals, then I understand that you wouldn't want internet vigilantes reporting the listings till they get auto-deleted. However, the site needs to allow people to mark listings as suspicious so they can be monitored without the sellers knowing it. If I made a website like this and I made it as difficult as Ebay does to let users alert me of possible criminal activity happening on my site, my site would be shut down and I'd probably get life in prison.
Oh, and it should be illegal, if it isn't already, for a website to reject attempts to inform it about possible illegal activity happening on its platform. If you're not allowing it because the listing is an actual honeypot, then at least make it look like you listened. Nothing is more annoying than spending 20 minutes typing out a detailed explanation of how a specific listing and associated non-profit are behaving in a way that no reasonable person wouldn't find deeply concerning only to get a red line that says something on the lines of "we rejected your message go away".
