eCops Ltd has specially designed and created unique software to support the investigation of
eBay items and sellers.
It provides direct access to eBay’s internal database and produces results in real time 24/7
without the need to contact eBay or visit the eBay site or download any files.
On the fly, investigators can produce reports on live listings or obtain full 90 days seller
histories, export results to MS Excel® for further analysis and auto-save listings in bulk to HTML
to preserve the evidence. They can plot seller’s postcodes to a map of the UK and conduct
searches by postcode.
With full audit trail and free group memberships it provides a complete eBay investigation hub
that far exceeds the search capabilities of the eBay site.
Subscriptions start at just £199 (+vat) a year and it can pay for itself through POCA seizures
