Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the misrepresentation of your
purchase.

I've taken a look at our records and see that you've filed a complaint
to the Trust and Safety department. Please be aware that once a
complaint is filed, the dispute will be automatically closed, and can't
be opened again.

We take your complaint very seriously. We're investigating this seller
and will take appropriate action. Violations of eBay policy may result
in a range of actions, including listing cancellation, limits on account
privileges, account suspension, loss of eBay fees on canceled listings,
and loss of PowerSeller status.

We also work closely with law enforcement agencies to help keep the
Internet safe, but we need your help. Here are some actions you can
take:
- File a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
The IC3 reviews and evaluates complaints, and then refers information to
the appropriate local, state, or federal agency. To file a complaint
with the IC3, go to:
http://www.ic3.gov

- File a mail fraud complaint.
If the item or payment was sent through the U.S. mail, you can file a
mail fraud complaint at:
https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/f...Complaint.aspx

- Contact the police.
Contact the police in your area as well as the area where the seller is
located. To find the name of a law enforcement officer who can help you,
go to: http://www.usacops.com

We're always glad to help the police. If a detective is assigned to your
case, please ask him or her to contact us by using the "report
information to eBay" link on this page:

It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay.
Sincerely,
Gilbert
