How is he getting the bidder's identities? Is he in our accounts, the sellers' accounts, or somehow able to access encrypted data from eBay?

I understand the idea of bogus 2nd chance offers as a result of shilling, or other shenengens.. But not where the emailer has private information.

2nd chance offer from this same email address is now at 4 for today. I'm not as worried about the 2nd chance offer, as I am this guy doing something more clever. Maybe he emails as the seller asking for a sale offline to eliminate seller fees.. Maybe he falsely accepts best offer and gets clever enough to create a good PayPal link to his email address.

To Add: all 4 instances are 2nd chance offers on different sellers' items
