I guess he's just not the forceful type.
I can see the slogan now: "eBay: Satisfy us."

The listing is still up (with 6 bids now) three full days after being reported as fraudulent (with a link to the stolen picture online). This doesn't give me much confidence in eBay's "oversight" process.

The lister clearly doesn't have this tuba to sell. I sincerely hope someone doesn't get badly ripped off.

Hope they understand the difference between "overseeing" something and "overlooking" it ... :roll:

wow...it finished without eBay pulling it
Would ebay be responsible for fraud if they knew of it and didn't pull it?

"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or reserve amount."

Yeah...I doubt it. The seller very likely got a memo regarding ownership of photos being used in an auction.

My guess this toolbag went to a local shop and took a few (poor) photos. Other images he is using may be found in this photobucket album:
