What's the deal with this ebay store? Stuff like used test gear, supposed based in Bondi Junction in Sydney with massive feedback and reputation, but a dodgy image saying that all bids wil be removed, and if interested to email some dodgy domain that doesn't exist? I can understand these scams, but how do they get 47,000 feedback and 99.7% feedback? I can only presume these are hijacked ebay store, like Youtube channel get hijacked? |

Report it to @AskeBay on Twitter?. They are super responsive there unlike the website. Definitely hijacked or bought an old store. That image is against seller rules as well. |

Searched eBay.com for that seller. There were a lot of its listings in UK. Almost all were very low priced. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=44090&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_fss=1&_fsradio=%26LH_SpecificSeller%3D1&_saslop=1&_sasl=topshoediscount&_sop=1&_dmd=1&_ipg=60&_fosrp=1 Restricted search to >$100 USD and got only 8 listings. Here's just one of them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374213037138?hash=item5720d5cc52:g:nfMAAOSwbBphn1nq All of those items were in Australia and the disclaimer about removingbids for Keysight MSOS254A is the same. Listing shows $287.65, but when clicked on, it shows current bid AU$898 Suspicious. The UK store might be legitimate. The Australian??? |
