Among other things, these thieves use the information that is provided them to hijack an ebay account. The unsuspecting ebay account holder will windup auctioning off on ebay a one day auction for a complete PSA graded set of T206's and not even realise it. When it comes time for payment from the bidder/s, the thief has them send the money to a different address (usually a type of money transfer service which will then transfer the money overseas) and of course the bidders will never see their money again. Then the ebay negs, etc., start coming in to the real ebay account holder. Ebay does inform people about these scams, but they should do so more vehemently.
