I tried, but gave up looking for the eBay "Contact Us" button. Either
way, probably a waste of time. I am not listing any thing until it
stops, although there does not seem to be much past auctions with more
than 24 hours to run these days. Perhaps the beginning of the end for
eBay?

I reported this numerous times, it don't do no good they end before they
even investigate it. They do seem to mainly only be in the fruit machine
section though so if you look in video, pinball and other section you'll
miss most of the spamming. Only trouble is sometimes stuff gets listed in
the wrong category.

its been happening since at least June 24th when I
first reported it, at some point they were listing a
few hundred duplicate listings per hour
ebay does manage to kill some of them though as most
dont go the distance, but having this crap there for
12 to 15 hrs sure lowers the chances of sales of your
own items
have given up reporting them now, can only hope they
the listers get bored
I do wonder how they manage to do it though, set up
all those accounts so quickly, you can bet they are
not paying listing fees

Think they are using Turbo Lister, probably have some robot program creating
all the accounts and doing it all. I think I read that ebay are going to
re-organise the coin-op section so maybe if we are lucky it will stop.
If I were a seller I would be really fed up with the spam.

Eee lad, I remember in t'oldern days when the only spam you got in the
arcade category was the "L@@K RARE Spooky coffin bank" but I think
everyone on ukvac at the time (2000?) moaned at ebay and the seller
soon got removed.
Those were t'days
