Just thought I'd share this with you.
Last night (Sunday night, ~10:00pm), I was browsing ebay and came across a number of auctions that rang far too many warning bells. The user, who was based in Germany, and had only sold 4 esoteric items to fellow Germans, was now offering 8 differing digicams, based in China, to Australians. He also was demanding wire transfers or Western Union. The Cameras, which varied from a 16MP SLR down to a small compact, all started at $700.
Someone had stolen his login details, I reckon.
So, I send off a message to the security people. I came back this morning, 8:30 or so, and found that all items had been removed.
Whether I had anything to do with that I do not know, but it's nice to see such rapid action.
