Weird listings on eBay.

[edwin]

What's up with this seller? All of the listings, from a Lakland Skyline, have a picture saying do not bid but to get in touch with some pawnshop email. Every "buy it now price" is $3000. I smell a scam.

That collection of old listings turned into scams surfaces occasionally,
there's mastertone banjos and any other hen's teeth/holy grail items in with that group.




They get taken down in a day and put right back up.
You'd think ebay could use an image matching filter to identify these recurring problem listings.

Those have been popping up a lot lately. I believe whoever is doing it does so by somehow hijacking legitimate sellers' pages and posting the "do not bid" thing. I hope nobody is falling for these.
