I came across a new technique hackers use on ebay with faked auctions.
They use items listed with a Buy it Now (BIN) price ($2000 in that case) and I only
noticed it as I remembered the same pictures being used on other auctions.
It really looks like a genuine auction, but when you click on "Report Item"
on the right hand side, it directs you to Buy It Now, so it is obviously hacked.
Another sign is, if you list all items of that seller, it shows many similar auctions,
all high ticket and all having the same high BIN (648 auctions all with a BIN of
$2000 in the case I came across). Always rare and pricey items like musical
instruments, bicycles, HiFi, lenses, cameras....
AND, DO NOT try to ask the seller a question, it asks for logging in into your ebay
account, although you are already logged in, this is phishing for your account + password!!!
If you ever come across something like that, be warned...

Have they inserted a "Report Item" box into the description that looks like the real one but isn't (the real one will be in its usual place on the page), or have they really "hacked" and subverted the genuine "Report Item" button?
I suspect it's the former (which isn't hacking, it's deception), in which case report the listing to Ebay using either the genuine link or the report function from one of the support pages and giving the item number. |

Thanks for the warning. It would be helpful if you included the link to one such item as well. A picture is worth 1000 words...

I would hope that he's reported it to Ebay so that they have removed it. |
