Buyers beware (e*ay)

[MikeT]

Look at auction no. 380081842621 and the other items of this seller...

Looks like a hacked account. I don't know how to report something like that, maybe anyone of you is familiar with the procedure.

If you think something smells fishy, at the very bottom of the page under 'Other Options', you'll see an option that says 'Report This Item'.

Each of those 3 "vintage" guitars is "buy it now" priced at $1300??? Not a chance!!!
I mean, that price is not even close to believable...

You can always use this old idea, email the seller and tell him you will pick it up in person. Go ahead and report it, but it's nothing new, happens all the time.

All of the seller's feedback is for the sale of stamps and those items were located in bat yam, Israel!

what's with the asterisk ?

I sold a guitar a few months ago, and the buyer wrote me and said that he was contacted by ebay and notified that my account had been hacked!

I contacted ebay in a panic, and apparently the email the buyer had received was actually an elaborate phishing attempt.

We went ahead and completed the transaction without incident, but man was that crazy!

Here we go again: item 250333635559 and everything else from the obviously hacked account.
