I just got this email from ebay & it appears they are finally addressing the moumental problem of people selling repos as originals.........If you see anybody trying to sell a repo as an original post it here & i will report it.......

Dear road-relics

You are an active eBay member, with a history of positive interaction with your trading partners and Trust & Safety. We'd like to thank you for your interest in maintaining and improving the marketplace.

We have developed a new tool called Enhanced Member Reporting (EMR) that makes it easier for you to report listings that violate eBay policies. When you submit a report using this tool, your report will be given very high priority for review and will reduce previous delays you may have experienced.

We have enabled this tool on your account. Now, when you are logged in to eBay with the above ID, use the "Report this item" link at the bottom of any listing, and you will automatically be presented with the new reporting tool. We have found that the tool is very easy to use, but if you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please let us know by responding to this message

Based on your previous experience it appears that you have extensive knowledge in the area of antique signs.

Please reply to this email with any specific brands, types of items, or other categories that you consider yourself an expert in. This will ensure that your reports in those areas are given high priority as well.

Best regards,

eBay's Enhanced Member Reporting

-- Please note --
The Enhanced Member Reporting (EMR) tool is still in its test phase and access is limited. We ask that you not share access to the tool with others at this time. Abuse of this tool in a pattern of unfairly "targeting" items that are not in violation of eBay policies could result, at a minimum, in removal from the Enhanced Member Reporting program
