You report it to the auction site. Been there, done that. They're normally on the ball for this sort of thing but can't police every auction, so they rely on honest citizens to report dodgy listings.

This is threaded together with a leather thong/lace - fairly unobtrusive. This would, in many cases, allow the maille to be removed by quickly cutting or pulling out, the...
