    Sorry I'm not an ebayer, but can't you just click on the report button to report scams like those?

    If someone bids on it I can just cancel their bid.

    And Yes, you can report them, and I have. The problem is they just repost it.

    There are people who sell the free Dell coupons on e.Bay, therefore he created a listing with all the coupons he knows so folks won't be scammed anymore.

    I asked him about the coupon and he never responded. He also has 2 people on his comments that purchased one and has yet to provide any coupons to them.
