are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Figured everyone would recognize that auction by now :biglaugh:

Yeah, this is really clever. They managed to get enough html code into the eBay listing to redirect you to another site that is made to look like ebay. And there is a tendency to not display the full web address in a lot of newer browers. Evil.

I know, I have seen a lot of scam before, but this is first, and if you want to report it, it gives you Buy IT Now page.

That's what happens when you let others embed their HTML code.

If you stop the page loading before it redirects, you can report it.

I did that, and I called the Ebay too about it, the page is still up and it looks like  Ebay is not too concerned about it.
I wonder how many sellers are hacked at one time and they don't know about it?

[DutchinUSA]

I see what you mean now

Earlier when it was just listed the report section didn't redirect you .. let's hope Ebay is actually watching the person and trying to track them down this time, course the perpetrator probably hides their tracks working with proxies etc .. you wish there was a way to paralyze fingers for a year or so, first offense, both index fingers, next offense one hand etc .. yeah I am evil I guess

Very slow response time. And this is real serious fraud that threatens the integrity of their whole system. I think that an item has to be reported a number of times before it is pulled. In the hour or so it has been up, there could have been many more eBay accounts compromised. At this point, the guys doing this could be liable for some serious jail time and the FBI could be called in to investigate. There have been numerous seller accounts hacked over the last year, who knows how many have fallen for the bait--the A4000T is just one of many listings that have been copied. Interstate and international fraud.

I'm out of Oregon myself and tried dealing with him before.. He posts a bunch of Craigslist ads as well.. I answered a couple of them and he was a headache to even talk to him on the phone... At least now he leaves his name and number on all his CL ads so I know to avoid him...

 
Yeah, I have seen those too ! Thats how he gets his Amiga gear now and then he resells it for said prices....
 
Are you from the greater Portland area ?

[AmmoJammo]

Unfortunately this knucklehead IS.  

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160985668745

I emailed him to let him know one just this week had sold for $130 and his response was he couldn't be responsible for what other sellers sold their stuff for and IF it didn't sell he was going to RAISE the price!

Really?!?!?!

$130 seems fair?

Not really crazy, but kind of awesome - who's been hoarding all these Super Denise chips??!

Step 1: buy them all
Step 2: upgrade everyone's Amiga
Step 3: profit!

I know who, (not me), he is on this forum too :drink:

[desantii]

Guilty as charged

Scored about 100 chips recently

LOL.    I'm always curious about the stories behind these kind of things... a long-lost box behind a file cabinet in an ex-Commodore warehouse?  Any exciting story you'd care to share with us?  In any case, good luck with your sale! :drink:
