Also, no reviews that I've seen reference cards. Lastly, these cards are regularly being offered for thousands and yet the completed sales on this account are invariably under $10. Strange to peddle in cheap items then suddenly go super high end. It might be legit though it looks super iffy.

My guess is that someone has hacked a legitimate seller's account and posted all of these listings. BINs wouldn't make sense, they don't want the sales to happen on Ebay, or the money would not go to the hackers. They are hoping that people read the text in the listing and click on their link which I suppose will end in them asking for the money to be sent to another place, outside of Ebay / Paypal. Again, just my guess at what's happening.
