Should I Waste My Time Reporting This Suspicious And Deceptive Ebay Seller?

http://stores.ebay.com/Here2There-Di...eNameZl2QQtZkm

If anyone is dumb enough to buy his stuff, they deserve to lose $100,000.00.

The listing fees on a $100K item would be exhorbitant. Let eBay bleed him dry with fees. :mhcky21:

This might be the most stupid business idea ever. Anyone know what the listing fee would be for all of these?

According to this calculator, if the item sold for $100K and the payment was made through Paypal, the eBay and Paypal fees would total $4418. Of that, the listing fee is $4.80 - admittedly not as much as I was expecting it would be.

Given that he has listed 50 of these or so, he just spent a few hundred dollars to not make a sale.

I looked at his feedback and then clicked on the items he has sold, and it looks like you can get one sign for $35. I think I'd pick one city and be happy with that. I like how most of his decription is explaining why ebay shouldn't "yank" his ad.
