Ebay selling my missing amplifier


8 months ago I sent an amplifier to europe for upgrades. The amp went missing and there were investigations that went unresolved. I happened to be searching on ebay and noticed the amp and when I magnified it Bingo the serial number was same. It is an ebay seller store that is listing it. Ebay has not yet responded after several attempts. What next?

There is no harm in reporting this to federal authorities, but I wouldn’t count on A lot of help as a result. United States attorneys offices, generally have a threshold amount of loss in a Matter like this before they will open and prosecute a case. That threshold amount will typically vary with larger offices requiring a greater loss. For most, that number is going to be above $50,000. 

this is not conjecture as I was in the justice department for several years. With that said, it may be worth reporting because there’s always the possibility that this case could be linked to others of a similar nature that might create some interest. Reporting it to the state authorities where the component is currently located might be more likely to get investigative action as knowingly possessing stolen property will be a state crime in all 50 of them
 

good luck
