Definately a Hijacked Account

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=hottenplotten&iid=7002172200&frm=284

100% feedback but all from what I can see are for books... and in German. Now he's selling lots of electronic equipment all with a message saying he'll end for a certain price and to contact an email address, not through eBay.

I don't know how to report them to eBay so can anyone do it?

  • I just reported him too. I had never bought or sold anything on eBay until yesterday. He "David" was selling a Roland Fantom XR on ebay through his store. He requested "Please contact me in my personal e_mail : daubin55@yahoo.com .I need a fast payment so if you can do that I will sell it for 300 GBP." I corresponded with him and sent him the payment in cash (yes, cash). Before I sent it I called two people I know who eBay all the time. They said if he really is a Power Seller with over 5000+ positive comments it would probably be fine and he could be trusted. I checked on his site and he is a Power Seller with a positive response rating. He took payment and I've not heard from him since. I tried to go to eBay and provide feedback, but the item number is not registering now. So, I emailed the entire screen shot (which I had taken before it disappeared) and email correspondence to eBay's security.
    He's going by David Aubin, email:daubin55@yahoo.com
    The eBay Store the item was listed on is maintained by: kazaa68 (5812) postive feedback
    One very expensive lesson I just learned. Hope other people search the Net first for this email/name/eBay ID first...
