There's more. Whole batch of vintage Rolex all also for 3-4k per from another compromised account from California 'crystalcat'.
And this fraud M.O. has been going on for a year now on eBay, pretty much daily.
They find dormant accts with plenty great feedback and hack them.

It’s getting ridiculous there are more fake ads than real ones. Ebay need to get a grip before people lose all confidence.

Please quit posting links. Take pictures and post them. The link disappears and nobody has a clue what you are referring to.

Yeah, this has gotten really bad the last month or two... I see several every time I search Ebay; I relentlessly report them, and Ebay is pretty good about shutting them down, but the posts follow exactly the same format every single time and its frustrating they haven't put in some automation to detect/delete these.
