Account has been hacked.

Ebay are in the process of removing all relevant listings.

Thankfully all the listings above have been deleted now. I know first hand how annoying it is to have an ebay account hacked. Someone listed loads of golf clubs to my account one time and I only realised when I got a message from someone about postage costs for the clubs. Paypal had to make 3 refunds and ebay eventually sorted it and removed the items. My ebay and Paypal accounts were put on hold for the best part of a month while it was sorted and then I had to change all my passwords again which was annoying.
 
the news thats theres a fraudulent sale on ebay is about as suprising as a politician caught telling lies,or a footballer shagging his team mates wife.

It would be a cold day in hell before i bought a high value item on ebay for anything other than cash on collection

And if you've paid by Paypal they will refund you, like I say if you play by the rules then its pretty foolproof for a buyer.

One thing I don't understand is this particular eBay seller, who (very frequently) announces items like these:

:cuckoo: :shrug:

reseller. Buy cheap and sell for a big mark up. I'd avoid every single one of those on the bay

That's not it. I checked the links again and they corrected ALL the "fraudulent" items. :) They had SEVERAL Canon lens around the €10K mark. Lens like a 24-70 2.8 or a 85 1.2.

I've been seeing them doing this for 1 or 2 years, but now I guess they were "busted". :D

It's not really fraudulent to ask a ridiculous amount for a lens. :shrug:

They may well have the lens offered for sale elsewhere and have an interested party.

Personally I have advertised on Ebay and Gumtree at the same time and if someone contacts me to arrange purchase through Gumtree I would raise my ebay price to a ridiculous amount rather than remove the listing. That way I don't have to pay to relist if the Gumtree sale falls through, I would simply reduce the Ebay price again.
