Not really sure what to think of this. I was actually looking for a new computer and followed a link from Google Shopping (products) to this seller's list on ebay; (just for kicks, or if they were close by) sdc_prod_9021_2 ( 0 )
Note that this does show the same sort of pattern as the normally hijacked high end stuff, all listed in strange categories, eg books, clothing etc.
But looking at the first item, we see they are NARU, with 12233 items listed
But it gets even stranger... Here we follow the link to their feedback page. Lookie there.
So maybe this is just helping ebay's item counts. I can't think of any real reason why they would still be there otherwise? Note the day this member joined. Note that name. Too funny. Maybe this was ebay competitor trying to sneak one by... who knows???
Nothing would surprise me about ebay anymore (or any less )

Live listing for an expensive, classic muscle car. How many consumers will get burned on this deal? I found this without even trying? What is sleazebay's problem?
Here we go... The very same 2 email addresses used yet again yesterday.
Note the time and date on the screencaps
Both of these are visible in the first vid of the 'pre-strike' vids, the ipod listing is identical. The one in the first screencap up there is in both vids, and there are more... Hilarious. It looks like maybe ebay employeess are too busy censoring forums, or listing items to inflate the falterring counts, as has been reported. Maybe to care about keeping those scam items out...
Geee... hmmmm..,... Just thinking out loud. It was about this time last year our friend Vladuz started making ebay look even worse, and it has been a steady decline since then. Of course there is a really good reason why this is all happening.
Well I have been very busy, but not too busy to capture another hijacked account, thus proving that NOTHING has changed at ebay regarding their DISMAL security, and the FACT that the site is HACKED & UNSAFE.
And just look... Oh It's Christmas time again on ebay, right now, in early February. Maybe they finally got Santa Claus back from that gang of thugs that kidnapped and tortured him, eh?
LMAO!
Maybe not though, I think that is good ol Saint Hacktivist!!!
This all started late last night. This is only a tiny tiny sample of the carnage. These are being pumped in at hyper-speed and appearing within one or two minutes. several sellers, some even have been hijacked repeatedly after ebay ends them.
I was able to catch some on video this AM before leaving out. I think a cool new vid is in order.
Here is another small example showing that the hacksters are still able to get their bogus listings right by the alleged fraud filters, and that they can use the same address over and again. Notice this listing is only 2 minutes old, and a known repeated high-fraud item.
Note the date in the added to area. Note the location of the article/seller That alone signals SCAM!
This is 640 wide click to enlarge
I wouldn't be too surprised that there are some new tricks too though.
Gee, I wouldn't want anyome to start to think ebay was any nless hacked than it was the last time I posted to this thread or made a video. It has never stopped. Not for One Second.
The hackers are using better tricks now, but a few still get the same ones through, proving again that ebay cannot stop the hackers.
here are just a tiny few samples using the same old tired tactics I found last night
Be sure to read this to understand the video: This is a live screen recording of actual events on the ebay site.
I found this suspicious Halo 3 Spartan Master Chief listing.
Meet the seller Seller: scrubnscrubs (6451) Member is a PowerSeller Visit seller's Store: Member has an eBay Store: Uniform and scrubs
Halo 3 Spartan Master Chief Armor Costume Helmet Suit Best Armor Available - Assault Rifle Display Included! Item number: 190153548561
Listing and payment details: Starting time: Sep-16-07 09:42:35 PDT Starting bid: US $500.00 Duration: 7-day listing This is a Featured Plus! listing Here is a screen capture of that listing: http://tinyurl.com/2mn7cs (remove the _480 from end of the url to view full-sized image)
email address observed in the listing: sa1vina2bani@gmail.com which as of yet does not show as a hijacker's known address.
Please note the other items found with that address in the seller's items are standard fair for the hijackers to list. Further, the seller/victim scrubnscrubs has over 500 other items listed at this time which do NOT contain that address. Look for screencaps and some follow-up at my bravenet blog within the next couple days.
I searched ebay for that exact title, and only found that item.
However, after googling the exact term "Master Chief Halo Costume - Personal Collection - Best Armor Available" I located a nearly identical ended listing on the ebay Italy website:

Note the photos in that listing from the Italian ebay listing. (on the left)
In case anyone was wondering, yes the hackefest is continuing, there has been more massive attacks. Here are some of the highlights, with follow-up links in the descriptions.
These videos document enormous amounts of FAKE items being listed by the hackers. Follow along as we see the hackers pumping in the listings as fast as I can reload the pages, in some cases, you will see them go down, as ebay apparently struggles to clear them out...
From my observations, these attacks have grown in sheer amount of items listed, as well as frequency very substantially since around the first week or so of July, 2007
Also, the voodoo zombie hackers are now able to bring themselevs back from the NARU grave to hijack more listings. You really need to see all this.
3 Video playlist, total time around 7 minutes These 3 videos documet very curious ongoings at the ebay site. Please read the descriptions and follow along. The dots are all there and connected. Pay Attention. Also, look right here for more screencap and video PROOF of the MASSIVE HACK-job of ebay. More examples of NARU Sellers accounts being overrun by flesh eating Zombie Robot Hackerz!
More follow up with additional examples on video and screencaptures
In less than 19 minutes, and with only 7 views, my veryfine documantary of the hatchet job on ebay this weekend (ahem... I mean the first to be uploaded) recieved a one star rating.
I hear that there wolverine store got hammered again last night. (snicker)
Looky here, I see some of the same cars got listed again, for around maybe the 10th time or so in a week, week and a half. Hilarious. The hackers OWN sleazebay!
