Someone else listed my item (2024)

FAQs

Can you find out who reported you on eBay? ›

ebay does keep records when you report a buyer for misusing the MBG to get return shipping paid by the seller. The buyer will not know that s/he has been reported. If enough reports are filed for that buyer, ebay can refuse to accept any cases from that buyer under the MBG.

Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension. If you have an issue with an item you purchased – for example, you haven't received it or it arrived damaged – this is not the right place to report it.

It's a good idea to always review the seller's profile closely and read customer reviews before purchasing an item on Facebook Marketplace, and obtain as much information about the product as possible before buying (for instance, ask the seller to send a video of the product) in order to ensure it is legitimate.

When something gets reported to Facebook, we'll review it and take action on anything we determine doesn't follow our Community Standards. Unless you're reporting an incident of intellectual property infringement, your report will be kept confidential and the account you reported won't see who reported them.

Also understand that eBay will not enforce or penalize a buyer on their first report offense. If your buyer has had only one report against them (yours), eBay won't do anything to their account yet. Only multiple reports will start to affect a buyer account.

As a seller, you can see how many people are watching your listing under the Watcher column on your active listings page. You can track how many watchers you have on each individual listing, but the identity of the watchers is kept anonymous. There is no way to ID who is watching your sale, or why.

You can report the item - every item has a 'report this item' link. Unless the seller has access to your account and can read your messages from Ebay, they will never know who reported the item.

I received a false claim — what should I do? Offer 30 day or longer returns to be protected from item not as described claims on eligible transactions. If a buyer makes a false claim, please accept the return and report the buyer to us.

You should only report a buyer if you think they're violating our policies. If there's a problem with an item you sold, use our resolution processes – you can ask us to step in if you need to.

"If a seller has multiple listings of the same piece, no profile picture, or they're a new account without ratings, those are immediate red flags." It's important to remember that a person's seller page is linked to their personal Facebook profile, which should theoretically showcase their lives over many years.

How do you know if a buyer is scamming you? ›

Do a quick search of the business or seller's name to make sure they are not imitating a legitimate business or individual. Check for reviews and complaints about the business on various platforms, including the seller's own profile, independent review sites and social media pages.

If you have an issue with an order on Facebook Marketplace, please contact the seller for help. If the seller doesn't reply or resolve your issue within 2 business days, you can contact Facebook support.

Unfortunately, there is no conclusive way to determine who reported you on Facebook. Facebook prioritizes reporter anonymity so users can flag inappropriate content without fear of punishment.

The number of times something is reported doesn't determine whether or not it's removed from Facebook. We use the same guidelines each time we review whether a profile goes against our Community Standards.

EBay keeps the identity of members who Report problem listings private.
