this time eBay doesn't respond so I get involved!

This time eBay seems to have fallen down on the job!
I had to leave for an errand and got stuck in traffic (result of 2 car collision! wow) then arrived back at noon and sat down and remembered the scammer listing and checked and was surprised to find it was still listed

At 12:10 I called eBay (not easy to find how to reach them) and got one of their Filipino accent persons. I asked if he was a security expert and he waffled and said they respond to security issues, without saying he was with the eBay security. nevertheless I had to give him the item number and explain, he said it would be reported and he said thanks for calling eBay customer support (that told me he definitely wasn't a security person!)
Waiting for lunch I kept refreshing the item on eBay and at 12:20 it finally was gone! Voila!
and a quick look for any auctions by fabmilan and now that seller ID is gone too!
How stupid is the scammer that they believe people will by something from a foreign country with a price ten percent of the market value for no shipping charge?
I'm wondering if this thread will go on forever!
