I think they did a quick scan in each category of ebay and picked high value items out and cloned them. There'susually stuff from other categories in there from guitars to diggers. Test gear regularly scores high values in Business Office and Industrial due to all the test gear rental folk pimping out high end Keysight and Tek stuff. |

Expensive items sold on ebay legitimately from time to time, where people look hoping to find a bargain. It probably applies to all sorts of other things like that, such as high end cameras, or studio equipment. |

It seems unfair that the apparently legitimate topshoediscount account was also deleted. I suspect that was the easiest path for eBay. |

Once an account is compromised then it's a financial risk for eBay either though purchasing being made by proxy identity or seller fraud. The seller topshoediscount is probably a liability for them with bad or reused or compromised passwords. They introduced a thing called PSD2 here in the UK which forced financial organisations to have at least a basically workable 2FA implementation. eBay should do the same. However at the same time the average user is absolutely incompetent when it comes to remembering credentials and managing 2FA effectively so eBay probably don't want to enforce it. They do offer it though. |
