Status

Phase 1 (local blocklist) — DONE (migration 006_scammer_blocklist.sql, store methods, API endpoints /api/blocklist, established_bad_actor red flag wired into trust scoring)


Remaining

Phase 2 — eBay Trust & Safety batch reporting

  • Multi-select listings in search results (checkbox UI on cards)
  • "Report sellers" action: generate eBay report deep-links for each selected listing
  • Batch-open in tabs, or generate a summary page the user can work through
  • Track which sellers have been reported (timestamp, reported_by)

Phase 3 — CF Community blocklist (cloud)

  • Cloud-tier: opt-in sync of confirmed bad actors to a shared CF blocklist
  • Privacy-by-architecture: only platform_seller_id + flag reason synced, no PII
  • Consensus threshold before a seller appears in community list (e.g. 3+ independent reports)

Motivation

Users catching scammers should be able to flag them persistently and contribute to protecting the broader community. eBay Trust and Safety reporting is the official channel; the CF blocklist adds a layer that persists across eBay moderation delays.
