On the same day that I contacted ebay, thair lack of concern over policing fraud and possible fraud on the site, was featured on a consumer affairs programme here, called "Watchdog". The UK MD was interviewed outlining extensive steps that are being taken.
All I got was a standard email, which made it clear that they didn't understand the problem, plus a follow up email asking me whether I was satisfied with the service.
So, as far as I'm concerned, the people that had reported them to Watchdog were about right, but I really don't want to dig deeper by following it up further.
