Reporting is is made extremely difficult - I can't find an email address anywhere, and their online
abuse reporting only works if you're already a member. I'm going to try mail to <
[email protected]>,
but I'd encourage any other urc readers who have E-bay account to pursue it with them. The current

rec.bicycles.misc (a clear violation of the rec.bicycles rules on advertising.)
