Desperately seeking info on potential scam...

I cannot find the post but I know I saw it on here not too long ago about seller accounts on Ebay being hijacked and listing multiple items for the same price. Help!

I hope you weren't a victim!

Great! I was thinking about bidding but thought it was too good to be true. Several other people did though and I contacted one person to question her about it. I always thought that Paypal would protect the transaction if it were phony but this saves me a lot of hassle. Thanks!

Yeah, the hijacked thing happened to me once, and although Ebay pulled it immediately and alerted me, I already had paid for the fake auction. It took Paypal two months to get their act together and refund my money! Be VERY careful on Ebay!!

Grrr... looks like the scammers are at it again. This time the auctions all have a quantity of 8 with a BIN price of $158.90. The hijacked accounts all have an ID verified icon next to the seller's name.

Please report if you see any of these auctions!
