OK, I'm confused. Are you referring to the poster "Jen"? Because if
you are, I'm really confused. I had wondered why this person posts
different auctions - the only thing they seem to have in common is that
they are embroidery-sewing machines. They have different sellers,
different locations, different machines - the only common thread I can
see is that "Jen" posts the url.

I assumed the Jan (OP) was the seller. I really am not sure what she
is up to. I would bet she is affiliated with the one seller that has
shown up more than once and is making an effort to camouflage that by
tossing in other sellers. It is one thing to drop in with a comment
about an auction. OP isn't doing that. MAybe time to get Kate to pull
out her troll recipe. I'm really not sure. I just wouldn't bid and if
she was messing with my auction (as a seller) I'd contact ebay.

Another problem is that this Jan is posting through an anonymizer, which
does not speak well for his/her intentions.
For now, I choose to ignore any posts from Jan. Heaven knows, I'm not
shopping for any more machines!!!!!!

In addition to which, the Terms of Service of eBay
specifically prohibit spamming Usenet. Unfortunately, eBay
does not provide an "abuse@" address for reporting
inappropriate ads.

The problem there is that Trust & Safety chastises the seller in the
auction and there is no apparent connection between this Jan and these
various sellers. Even if there were, the headers in the posts are not a
registered eBay address and a connection would be impossible to prove.
So one of two things would happen. A rushed CSR could put a strike
against the seller, when it wasn't the seller doing the spamming; or
absolutely nothing would be done beyond sending a boiler-plate message
that "we are investigating but due to privacy restrictions cannot inform
you of any action which may or may not be taken."
