    Just found this on eBay RAFFLE IT ................iPHONE 3GS one euor a bid for a chance to win an iPhone.

    Its a scam that used to be very common on eBay years ago and I thought they had wipped them out but there's always someone that thinks its a new idea obviously.

    Anyway I'm sure there used to be a specific report catagory for this scam but I can't seem to find it anymore? Anyone any ideas?

    Found it - talk about making it difficult to find.......

    > Listing Policy Breaches (improper keywords, outside links etc)
    > Inappropriate seller terms

    The report item link is at the top of every listing but the drop down menus are easy to navigate unless you really know how they're organised.

    I'm sure they are quite specifically"organised" to make it as difficult as possible to find the right catagory so people give up, don't bother and so save eBay the potential of having to do something.
