For selling hooky goods, is it done anonymously? i.e. will the seller know I reported them?

Reason being, some scammer sold me a Lyle & Scott shirt which turns out to be fake. I've started a claim through PayPal for my money back but I want to report the little scamming bastard as well so that he can't make any more money from his little counterfeit enterprise, but without him knowing it was me.

youd be suprised how little Ebay seem to do - I think I may have mentioned this before but my boyfriend left someone bad feedback as they guy took 2 weeks to send out the product and he left a horrible message on our answerphone threatening us and calling us C you next Tuesdays etc

Ebay were the ones that gave out our home tel no and they never banned him or anything - just glad it was us not some old lady or something

I've never bought anyhting off ebay and never will due to the very reason.

I like to buy from a shop. People buy off ebay as they want the cheap option usually, and you get what you pay for.

Ebay has its uses. Like buying cheap guitar hero clips for the DS. You know what you are getting.

Branded goods, never! Buyer beware (sorry Sam, not being helpful)

How much did you pay Sam? If it was £20-odd quid I'd just have done with it personally, any more and I'd pursue it.

I made the mistake 3 years ago and bought an Xbox 360 with lots of bits and pieces.  Paid just over £400 and like a complete tool transferred the money direct to the arseholes bank....

Never received it - reported it to ebay first who were not at all interested - although they did eventually ban the guy - I did a bit of ebay digging and found his address and postcode and phone number - went to the police and reported it.  Cut a long story short after 6 months (and no xbox or money) I received a call from the police saying it really wasn't worth their effort bringing the bloke to court - the money involved was just not enough.

I was advised that the ONLY way to get my money back (even if police took him to court I would be out of pocket) was to take the scumbag to small claims court - and IF I lost the case I would end up paying for his legal costs, time off work etc...

Basically the copper told me to forget it and put it down to experience....

He was "known to the police" and lived in Leyton in London - I thought about it but it crossed my mind that I could take a couple of mates and knock on the door - and some huge fella with a knife answered it - to be honest I thought £400 probably wasn't worth it on reflection.....

£15 for L&S, should've been pretty obvious it wasn't the real deal!

I bought 6 Madonna Gold circle tickets for 800 quid, paid through paypal and they never materialised.  Figured I could claim back through Paypal but because more than 3 months had passed between buying the tickets and reporting it they weren't interested.  No prblem I thought I'll claim it back throught he credit card company only to discover my missus had complained about me using the credit card so i had used the debit card instead.

Found the sellers home address, did a small claim online and am now receiving the money at £100 a month until September
