People sell stuff they havent got in thier grubbies all the time on Ebay... see it all the time with latest STERN releases via agents or containers arriving in 1 month or so. There is no difference with this listing.
If youre inclined to report this guy to Ebay then make sure you report the ads for the next Stern release that hasnt yet come in the country also.... or the guy that has a machine in USA on a boat that hasnt arrived yet.
In all honesty, why you would report someone to Ebay is beyond me... he's paid his deposit and if he hopes to make a profit on it then good luck to him.
When you buy a machine via AMD or even a WOZ via Bumper.. do you not pay a deposit BEFORE they have the machine in their hands? Do they ( the agents) then make a profit on the final price?

I think the confusion here is calling the seller a "fraud" because he is selling something he has not yet received. That is way out of line. People sell things every day that they do not have, and quite legitimately. If Ebay makes it their policy that they don't allow sales of goods that the seller won't have at the end of the auction, that's just an Ebay rule.
At no stage did anyone call the seller a fraud. The ebay listing itself was described as fraudulent and the posts clearly state that ebays own listing/reporting practices have that fraudulent word/deskription word in their drop boxes. Therefore, nothing is out of line whatsoever.
If u disagree, u will need to contact ebay because their rules are their rules. The report feature on Ebay is there for a reason. Its to protect ebay users who feel a listing is not legal or immoral under the ebay rules. Whether you like it or not, it is there to stay.
