Actually, this one that was shared earlier on was taken down:


I reported the quoted listing above using this method, which allowed me to link the Dumarko listing. It technically can fall under Authenticity Disclaimer, as the act of creating the listing is claiming the authenticity in ownership said piece for sale.

Fortunately, the Dumarko link was short enough to fit in the tight character limits of the report box. Unfortunately, the C24 links exceeds that character limit, but can still work if you use a link shortening tool.
Ok that’s a positive, I was getting a bit frustrated between these vintage ones and the Seamaster Pro 300M watches I’ve reported like 40 listings in the last two weeks and I’ve seen so many close at their ending with bids on them that its been really disappointing.

Once again more stolen photo listings... please don't fall for these, report them if you can and warn others as they are attracting bids and the authentication program does not exist for Sri Lanka so the buyers are likely going to get sent a 10mm spanner or something for their hard earned coin.

This one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374180916119?hash=item571eebab97:g:jHUAAOSws15i1axh&LH_Auction=1
This one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314077318863?epid=14051626699&hash=item4920778ecf:g:u0oAAOSwhTVi1aLf&LH_Auction=1
This one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125422143926?hash=item1d33be09b6:g:hLkAAOSw~qli1OPK&LH_Auction=1
Reported all three.

Even more good news is the flow seems to have stopped at least for a day or so, I wonder if they’re manually approving them now or something.

Another one here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185511791959?hash=item2b315d4d57:g:eAcAAOSw~35i3LQG&LH_Auction=1

Stolen from here: https://www.chrono24.com.au/omega/o...mens-dress-watch---ref-136020--id24142503.htm

You would think/hope with all the AI talk these days that eBay could run and automated reverse image search .... or include the option for people to sent them a link when reporting such issues. Well done for hunting these down 👍

You don't need to use the whole URL link. This will be sufficient, and well under the 100 character limit :

URGENT! SCAM! Item # 123456789123 stole photos from genuine item # 123456789123

I just sent a msg to the Chrono24 seller. He was most appreciative and will take it up with eBay.

Only works for eBay items though, most are stolen from Chrono24 and other sites.

Another one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394188998413?epid=26043325778&hash=item5bc77ec70d:g:~1AAAOSwykpi60-3&LH_Auction=1

Can't find it on Chrono24 immediately but its the same 0 feedback accounts each time

Seller also has an e-bike for sale.

Amazingly it looks just like this one.

Will report that one too.

Just off the tip of Florida, but as long as you don’t buy from 0 feedback ebay sellers you’re probably going to be fine

Naw, I think that's Cuba.

Isn't Sri Lanka where an Apollo mission landed?
