I reported a big scam ring and told them how to trace it back to this guy. Nothing was done so i guess they like those fees paid more then caring who is getting scammed.

:( It's annoying that life is "all about money" anymore. WOULD reporting make a difference? Probably not. Only "enforcing" would make a difference, and that is up to eBay to do.

Or when they have the child sell something, like artwork or crafts. I know it's not harmful to the child but it still seems a little on the exploitive side. And I'm still amazed when sellers put up their own or anybody else's pic. I guess it's to give things more of a personal touch and I'm just too security conscious or something.

This reminds me of a few years back when, on the power sellers board, a few of us were talking about how sex sells items.

Someone put a Mickey Mouse collectible item in their underpants and took a shot - it was hilarious.

OK, well, that would be funny. Thing is, I am sure that was a guy, if it was a woman, people would have found it sexy.
