I reported several auctions that kept comming up in my searches (Keyword Spamming). I used the "Mail this item to a friend" link in the auctions, and I got this back:

Argh...It used to be that you'd just punch in [email protected] to report stuff in auctions, and now I have to click possibly 5 more times just to report something??
I guess the only things they care about are "Misplaced" Adult Auctions and "Blatant" Fee Avoidances!!

This is certainly NOT intended towards you CS...
BUT... it IS good that ebay is making it a little more annoying for all the net narcs, web rats, stool pidgeons, squeelers, budinskis, and losers that have nothing better to do then play rent-a-cop, and be ebays cyber snoop puppets.

Whenever I have had to legitimately contact them, I've always just started a new mail message addressed to [email protected] and it has always gone through, and surprisingly, I have always gotten a response within 24 hours.

Well Pocono, after the 5th "bounced" e-mail, I just said #*!@ It and forget telling eBay about those 3 auctions that might be fee avoidance violations.
Now I have to re-modify my searches, which might decrease my spending!! And less and less revenue for eBay!!

Why bother spending your time "policing" ebay? The only time I would be involved in something like this is if it involved one of MY auctions I was bidding on. Do you actually just sit in front of your comuter and "hunt" these people down? If it doesn't effect me, I just don't worry about it.
