    At least it appear no-one can pay. Cant believe they are moaning for that reason.
    Someone with ebay experience of 1204 feedback says "fruadster u caint pay for your item should be kicked of ebay not happy".

    It is now getting really interesting as peoples accounts are being hacked to produce positive feedback. All miraculous receipts of goods withing 24 hours.
    What do ebay have to wait on to shut an account down.

    Yes, he's only sold three of these today (none yesterday or before)

    ZC2198G New MAZDA 6 GPS

    but has good feedback saying "Great seller, super quick delivery and item exactly as described"

    Let this example be a warning (and I mean this in a friendly way), a warning to all the newbies on here who want to have a punt on cheap goods which are clearly being sold from hacked accounts. As you can see in this case the scammer has used the same hacking tool he used to take over the seller account and has hacked all those buyers accounts in order to leave good feedback.
    All of those buyer accounts are now compromised.

    The interesting thing is it is almost just like a virus I am pretty sure no money has been paid.

    NB Ebay have not shut-down but removed my post on their forum and censored me for suggesting a scam arghhhhhhhhhhh

    Checkout the buyers that left positive feedback. They are probably the next accounts to list the same stuff.

    No idea what it takes for ebay to close someone down - I made a complaint recently when an item did not arrive - the seller has 236 neg feedback in the last month! they also have 13 neutral and 571 positive this month - their feedback score is still 98.4% so ebay class them as a good seller!!
    They now have 1129 negatives!!
