eBay Spain gets ‘report this item’ links

by Sue Bailey

eBay Spain have announced that “report this item” links have been added to the bottom of all item pages on eBay.es. The “Informar sobre este artículo” links allow users to quickly inform eBay of items which break listing policies and other rules.

Most other eBay sites have had these links for a while now, beginning with eBay Australia back in 2005.

    Why can’t such a simple idea be rolled out to all sites, 1 in 2005 one in 2008 :?:

    I had a seller copying one of my auctions the other day, a very expensive item.

    It took nearly 3 days from day of report to takedown.

    You can have all the links you want but if it takes 3 days to do a takedown on a clearly criminal auction listing, it is not going to make an iota of difference.

    Life is to short and my time is to expensive.

    Reading an earlier blog on Tamebay I was amused to see eBay will be selecting the best reporters(super snitch’s (c)north) to report bogus/dodgy listings, how about instead of issuing a million shares at 50c to JD to buy, they instead invest it in a team dedicated to removing the tat that plagues eBay today.

    its all this community bollocks that gets me

    ebays a community my arse!
    ebay is a market place where people buy and sell.
    a proper community is made up of those that do many different things

    imagine tescos telling their shareholders that they only rely on shoppers to report shop lifters, and dont actually employ staff to counter the problem
