What is going on with this ebay seller?

jonnyburgo

Loads of high end items, very low prices including guitars with no descriptions, something about buy it now prices. Items listed as being in Wolverhampton, but seller feedback page says they are in the USA, 100% feedback. a lot of the pics look stock. I just don't get it, do you? Dodgy links to buy now in description, total scammer or what?

I have reported these hackers who take over good folks’ accounts dozens of times now. They usually say ‘from U.K’ in sellers location. If it’s too good to be true then it probably is! I see them hack an account and usually list the same things each time. Boats, guitars, cars, motorcycles, basically high value items. I hate these people with a passion. The description page will always be about not clicking buy it now or don’t bid, followed by an email address to contact them. I have no idea how they do it but it happens - a lot. Scary stuff!

They have just listed a 1959 precision bass now bidding at 4 quid. Reported again.

Great - the super rare vintage guitar at £50, but with the actual price in the body scam is going again...

Report it for avoiding ebay fees.

Why would you bother trying to avoid eBay fees, when every other weekend you can list for a £1 selling fee ?

It’s not avoiding eBay fess, it’s a scam.

Honest question. What should I be wary of? Is is the eBay-company.pro bit?

I don’t understand these things as well as I need to
