This looks very dodgy

Have a look at the items for sale from this seller;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/singleton-morgan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692

Loads of unrelated 'top end' gear for sale (bikes, cameras, guitars) - surely this is a hijacked account?

    Nothing here either, so looks like original seller has their account back.

    Just after I posted this last night Ebay started pulling the listings - tried to update my post but the forum was 'down for maintenance'!

    There were 140 listings, loads of carbon mountain bikes, Gibson guitars and big Canon lenses. The odd thing was that they were all on 7 day auction starting at £19.99 - normally a scammer uses BIN or at the very least puts a contact email in the description with the 'contact me first' message to try and get a payment outside of Ebay. I can't see how this scam would have worked very well?
