The last few days I've been looking at auctions for Bebe clothing. I'm so tired of clicking on an auction and reading it to find out that the item is actually not made by Bebe but is styled like Bebe. This is obviously misleading.

Is there anything I can do about this and is it worth bothering?

YES!!! Report the sellers to safeharbor! What they are doing is against ebay rules. It is called "keyword spamming". Go to the following ebay page to view information related to this:

Hope this info helps!

Now I'm frustrated by the safeharbor reporting function.
I saw a message once that said you can e-mail safeharbor while viewing a listing. How do I do that?

tgmichelle...not sure about emailing safeharbor while viewing a listing, but someone posted this site before and I put it in my favorites...very useful.

tgmichelle,

If you want to send a listing directly to Safe Harbor while viewing an auction, just click on "sent this auction to a friend". Then address to [email protected] and add a messege as to why you are sending. It works. I've had to use it. Hope this helps.

tg, that is actually a Y! Auctions Neighborhood Watch function . I don't think Ebay has this.
