I mean, who would actually believe that there is any chance this is legit? I reported it to eBay, but it's still active with 150+ sold so far.

Looks like another hijacked account.... Someone seems to have the ability to find accounts with high feedback and no use for years, and hijack them.

Looking at the transaction list, many of the buyers are experienced ebayers, they should know better. Essex England with 22 transactions? GIVE ME A BREAK!

Up to 187 now...and there are a lot of multiple lot sales...
This guy is having a field day! This may be one of the most successful scams I've ever witnessed...Im just wondering if he gets to keep his $ once all the disputes start flying in

He waited for a weekend, low ebay and paypal staff. Probably will get a few thousand moved out of paypal before they slam the door.

My account was hijacked several years ago and somebody listed a bunch of high-end electronics under my username. What a mess that was to clean up.

How would they ever meet anyone they "ripped off" if they never enter the country with the person?
These scams are 100% free attacks on the people of this and other countries with zero chance of reprisal.
eBay could easily put in filters, but they choose not to.
I think eBay has it's days numbered as very soon Apple or Google or someone else will step in with better and cheaper and have the marketing might to take hold. Ok, that's partially a "hope" also as eBay seems to be making a mockery of customer service lately.

ebay will be the one to pay on this. The items will not be shipped and all the complaints will go unanswered by the seller, so they will be forced to refund the payments. $60,000.00 will get their attention.
