Resolved! How to effectively report fraud when multiple sellers have exact same item

What's wrong with this picture? 3 items, exact same picture with 3 prices and 3 different sellers. I tried to report but feel like it is falling on deaf ears. They are asking thousands of dollars, so this is not petty crime.
