    Step 3.  Select "More Options" (three dots) and choose "Report Seller."

    Step 4.  Choose "Scam" as the reason and follow the on-screen instructions.

Report the Listing (if applicable):

    Step 1.  Find the listing you believe is fraudulent.

    Step 2.  Click the three dots in the top right corner of the listing.

    Step 3.  Select "Report Listing."
