<p>[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 24454066, member: 20480"]I run into one of these hacked accounts just about every time I scan eBay listings, seemingly weekly these past couple of years. A hacker will successfully hijack the eBay account of a seller with a clean record and load it up with high value listings copied from past eBay sales of other sellers. Sometimes they are fixed price listings with prices that are too good to be true. Sometimes auction listings with a low start. Most often I've noticed fixed price listings with the BIN option, where the fixed price is already tempting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The items sold in the feedback profile rarely reflect the current high value listings of these parasites.
