I have had success with eBay in getting them to DELETE ads for illegal amps. Here is how you do it. When you find ads that are bad.. you send the eBAY abuse folks a EMAIL. In it you identify the SPEC

In case there was any doubt, I reported all 3 devices through eBay's online system for doing just that. It was a bit convoluted to get to, but I found it. I clicked "Help" in their top menu, then "Co

E-bay is a world market. I'm not sure that what happens to be illegal in the US is always going to be illegal elsewhere. What if the seller is located in a country where it is legal? Stewart GM4AFF I

Don't count on it ... I used to report every non-amateur amplifier that appeared on the site. eBay has essentially taken the stand as long as the description says the amp is not legal for CB they wi

when you do that put in the comments that you are cc'ing the fcc and then send the fcc the same info. they want specific auction numbers and url's as well as why you think it is against their rules.

Ebay allows the seller to pick and choose which country's Ebay sites an item will be listed. For example, if a CB amp is listed on ebay.de in Germany and the seller doesn't check the box for US, it w

Why not e-mail the seller and tell him about what he is doing, and copy it to the FCC? That might get his attention. Tom K5IID At 23:52 02/04/04, Jim Rhodes wrote: I notice that they are all being so

Ebay is not the police. If the ad is worded so as to indicate the item is legal, that is all ebay should have to worry about. Let the cops do their job, ebay will do theirs. Do you think every newspa
