I was scammed a few months ago by a seller on China for a fishing reel that I paid over $400 for that turned out to be a worthless toy trinket in the mail. Sounds just like ordered a shoe but got a showercap scam. Took me about a month to get my money back from Ebay but luckily I got it back after having to go to the police station and filing a report.
Since that time, I have seen this same scammer do the same thing over and over again to other people and each time I see it, I report the auction to ebay since I am so disgusted with the seller. The scammer creates a new account with 0 feedback under and puts out multiple auctions of the same product for no reserve. Auction time is a day. The scammer doesn't even bother changing the description of the auction which even has broken links and images on it.
His latest scam auctions ended today included this one:

I am tired of having to do the work for Ebay. This scammer is so obvious it makes me sick. Come on Ebay, can't you do something about this?
