    could be a seller that you have used in the past who has had their account hacked?

    Anyways, auction number for the first one: 190095732989
    Second: 300094397961
    Nice one AJ...I couldnt get my browser to pause long enough to catch the numbers. I'll report to live ebay now and see if they will do anything.

    Neither could I, which is why I used the Escape button to stop the redirect

    Could only email live help. Looks like stigstig account is hijacked as both cars listed are redirecting to the phishing website.

    The legitimate holder of the first account (item number 190095732989) is 'iansparky1966' - the last f/b left was on the 20th as a buyer; the account holder has never sold anything. There are 3 cars listed for sale under that account, the Range Rover, an Audi A4 Sport and a Merc ML270.


    With the 2nd item (300094397961), if you stop at the legit page and click on 'Seller's other items' it shows nothing for sale.
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.

    i just looked up the item number, and its saying 'item has been removed' now.

    Must admit, I've never seen any phishing method like that before... scarrrry!

    Since changing my password I have had an "alert" tag on the top of my ebay page which is a message confirming password change.

    I can't get rid of the "alert" tag, any ideas please?
  • that will remain for 30 days me thinks
