I've done it a couple of times, and it works.
If you suspect there is a scam, it's a stolen bike, or other issue - let e-bay admins know about it.

If the item is there illegaly, they will remove it.
Don't forget to include the item number.
e-bay admins can easily see the recent change in the account, contact the real owner, and determine whether the item is there
illegaly.
Obvious suspects are when you are looking for a bike, and get BS response from a seller (on vacation, will ship the bike, send money via Western Union, etc).
Another easy check for sellers with hundreds of feedbacks. Take a look at what they buy/sell. More often than not the auction
for a bike looks totally out of place (seen that from a seller who deals with kiddy stuff - books, crafts, etc.). It's a
clear indication that the account was hijacked by a crook (they do it by guessing paswords, or by sending e-mails from would
be e-bay asking to verify password. Some folks are too busy and don't pay attention, they click reply, put in their passwords, and there it goes).
e-bay admins are not capable of finding those crooks, but if we point them in the right direction they will be more than happy to get rid of them.
