Beware of new EBay tricks

[ezez420]

I noticed this seller on eBay: ladydidog with this new eBay trick to scam. I am not sure if this topic has been posted already but I'm posting again.

ALL of the listings are fraudulent. Cards, jewelry, clothes, etc. Just like you get the spam emails that have links in them to "unsubscribe" so does this persons listings. They are offering Buy It Now at another site with fake links.

These links steal your information and your money. It is a new method and tactic I recently saw being used on eBay.

Hopefully this saves someone.

Me too. I quit after quickly scrolling through 76 pgs of items for sale. Talk about everything under the sun for sale.
Cards, jewelry, Bobcats, excavators, vehicles, bikes, moto x bikes, the items are endless.
Hopefully it gets taken down and soon.

This is the same thing that’s been happening for months.

Account gets hacked, tons of high end stuff posted. It will be taken down soon.

Hopefully?
I just tried to report it but doing so on eBay, imo, is rather difficult, and I don't understand that at all??

+1 Agreed. They do not make it easy and hopefully it is taken down soon before others get burnt

Actualy it is really easy. Right above the item description on the right side there is a "report item'". Click on that. Then there are 3 spots you need to pick the correct problem. in top one choose "listing practices". Second one pick "avoiding ebay fees". Third one pick "offers outside of ebay".

This gets the fastest response because of the "avoiding ebay fees" selection.

Correct, this type of thing is happening almost every week. This was happening quite often to sellers based in the UK but looks like its now in the US. In fact, in the past, I dont even think the sellers knew there account had been hacked, but Ebay will have these taken down within a day or two.
