How do I report something on ebay?

Just seen a listing that in my opinion contains offensive language in the description. I'd like to report it, how do I do this?

I don't want to get into a discussion with the seller about it, I'd just like ebay to consider removing one sentence from the listing.

Look on the right near the rectangular box with size info in it, should be above that or nearby I believe.

DanyTargaryen · 22/09/2012 17:54

Or link it and I'll do it?

NorbertDentressangle · 22/09/2012 17:57

Its on the right hand side, underneath the box with the Seller Info. It says 'Report Item'

SunshineOutdoors · 22/09/2012 17:59

It's here. The sentence in different colours. Fwiw I think the seller is not trying to be offensive, means it in an almost endearing (?) way. I just don't think it should be written on ebay and I felt a bit cross when I read it. Hope I'm not being unreasonable.

I just read it again and don't think IABU tbh.

Thanks, I've reported it. Didn't see that 'report item' link but when you pointed it out it was quite obvious Blush

I reported it also. Racist, it's not just you.

SunshineOutdoors · 22/09/2012 18:08

Thanks, it is isn't it? Don't know why I doubted myself.

How long before they get rid? If it was on mumsnet it would be long gone by now

Their feedback left for others is a tad eccentric.

TheMonster · 23/09/2012 09:55

It is still there now but I have reported it again.

ChesterCake · 23/09/2012 14:01

I've reported it too, hope it gets removed soon

SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 17:20

It's still there Angry I've reported it twice. Does that mean eBay don't agree it needs to be removed?

Meh, I reported shill bidding once and nothing was done. I wonder if they're not that vigilant.

SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 17:34

I'm not sure what that is Blush

Surely if something is offensive it should be removed though?

OP posts:
gallicgirl · 24/09/2012 18:00

Shill bidding is when you get a friend to hike up bids or use a fake account to raise the bids so you get a higher sale price.

EdMcDunnough · 24/09/2012 18:03

He sounds like a wanker. No one decent will buy it anyway.

elfycat · 24/09/2012 18:04

I just reported it too, in case they only do something when it hits 10 complaints?

Allice · 24/09/2012 18:17

Someone has contacted the seller and told him it's being discussed here, he's updated his listing mentioning it.

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 24/09/2012 19:22

Well IMHO the seller is a racist twat. No offense and all that Hmm I was going to say he was a racist cunt but he might take it the wrong way. What with his eccentric sense of humour.

fergoose · 24/09/2012 19:25

I agree - and all he has to do is cancel the bids and amend the listing, or end the listing and start again without the hateful 'jokey' comments. His extra comment just paints him even further in a bad light I reckon.

Since when has a racist comment ever been humorous?

SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 19:30

Maybe the seller has a point I should have asked them to remove it instead of talking about it on here? Sometimes I forget this isn't just a private place for me to ask lots of like-minded and not so like-minded people advice Grin

I was more surprised the sentence wasn't just removed by eBay pretty much as soon as it was reported.

Glad you all do seem to agree with me though.

OP posts:
SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 19:35

I don't mean the seller had a point in what they wrote by the way, just in saying that I could have spoke to them directly instead of talking about it on here. I'm too much of a coward though Grin
