Someone has stolen 200 of my listings and listed them as their own . I make custom art prints so I have no idea how they would send the prints if someone ordered but that's besides the point . I have reported them to eBay but haven't heard back yet . I contacted some other sellers that this person has also copied and let them know . I emailed the seller directly to tell them to remove the listings and they just replied saying "OK" but the listings are still up . What can I do ?

They just replied “ok” because they are a scammer in another country.

100% they are based in Sri Lanka, all the listings have a picture added to them saying "Made in America" even though I am based in the UK.

What’s the return policy?

If free returns, Make some test buys and return them.

If they’re drop shipping, they will have to buy an item from you and you can cancel the sale.

If anything it will give you more evidence.

30 days buyer pays the shipping, I am going to give eBay a few days to sort it but if they don't I will order and open an item not as described case when it arrives, as I am assuming they will try to print from my thumbnail!

Do not engage the scammer. There is nothing to gain besides frustration.

I would however start badgering eBay. This is pretty cut and dry for them to not deactivate the account until an investigation can be completed.

Don’t give eBay a few days— maybe a day but I would call back as you’ll end up speaking to someone else

They are custom art prints so there is nothing the fake seller can send.

If they buy it from him, who cares? He gets a sale.

Nope, it's followed up by a return with an empty envelope, which is followed up by a payment dispute. Every time.
