77 cent A4000T on eBay -- blatant policy violation

[lassie]

It's listed again:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200861587335

That is some Amiga 4000T, it sure is loaded

If you look at the other items he's currently selling it must amount to somewhere near a hundred thousand dollars, very very suspicious!

Yes and most items have the don't bid graphic... which is a violation of the terms of service for posting an auction.... Amazing ebay is letting that go...

Hi mate
What do you mean with, it does not have the don't bid graphic

[lassie]

The real seller sold this A4000T last year. The same fraudster has been hacking into seller accounts and listing it--the picture and description were obviously pulled from the original listing. Don't bid on it!!!. Click on the report item link on the listing and report it to ebay.

The listing it removed now. it is strange, people find it funny to hack websites and do something like this, they could maybe use there "talent" to something else.

I'm quite sure fun is not what they seek.
They mainly seek money.

Hi
Yes they are after money sometimes. But if the Amiga got sold, there would never be a transaction, and if there were, the seller will get the money. How can they get money from doing this.

[lassie]

If they've gotten this far, surely they would know how to change the payment information inside the original seller's profile, wouldn't they?

Hi
Yes you are right, they could have done that.
