Hello everyone, since I unfortunately just keep going in circles with email support and no permanent solution is being reached there, I’m turning to the community here once again, since it worked so well last time. It’s about this user. He is violating many of eBay’s basic principles. Support does delete the affected listings from time to time based on my reports, but the user shows no sign of improvement. Immediately after deletion, he simply relists the exact same items with my stolen original photos, titles, and descriptions. He is deliberately ignoring eBay’s measures. Here is the list of major violations: Illegal sham commercial activity on an extreme scale: The user presents himself as a private individual, but is currently listing DB vouchers with a total value of over €40,000 . It is absolutely impossible for a private sale to reach this volume. This is commercial activity with a clear intent to make a profit, in order to circumvent the right of withdrawal, the legal notice requirement, and tax reporting obligations (PStTG). Violation of the voucher policy for private individuals: According to eBay guidelines, the sale of digital voucher codes (by email/message) is strictly prohibited for private individuals. Shipping must обязательно be physical by postal mail. In addition, this policy requires the use of original photos of the actual item — however, the user is unlawfully using my private photos. Systematic search manipulation: By copying my titles and texts exactly, he is creating artificial duplicates in search. This massively manipulates the search results and unfairly pushes my legitimate original listing out of the top spots. Deliberate circumvention of security measures: Since selective deletions are immediately answered with new listings, this is a systematic violation of eBay’s terms and conditions. Through this sham business, the competition is being completely distorted. While honest sellers comply with legal requirements, taxes, and fees, this user is gaining an unfair advantage by circumventing all commercial obligations. @selina_b@ebay
