Looks like the antiquejq listing now blocked.... Noticed the fake hulk was up to about £750ish prior to that. That's some easy money for the scammers!!

They are at it again with a Rolex 1675. I already reported it. It still shows in a search, but when I click on it goes to a page that says the page is missing. I reported it as a fraudulent listing, so Ebay must make the listing immediately hands off until they can have someone review it even though it still shows in a search. Interesting!

Same, I noticed it happening again. Happens with the Bob Husky speedy for example. BIN price scam. Shame because I think that speedy was selling legitimately before the account was taken over.

Most EBay accounts now are bullshit. You can buy a seller account with 10+ feedback for under 100$. The higher seller accounts go for more money and also come with a VPS login, complete with verified name, credit card and credentials and verified PayPal account.
I don’t trust anyone on eBay anymore. It’s easy for dick heads to sell a high ticket item and walk away without any chance of prosecution.

This is a scary development for those who want to sell some reliable watch occasionally. Forum like this, or other forums, are not meant to be sales platforms. eBay has become very tricky lately. Chrono24 is rather expensive. Catawiki is slow and expensive and I had a few questionable experiences with them. Then there's this local sales site but that one is really to cry for, they don't even react on reporting fakes. So what is the next best option?

This seems to be a very lucrative business. I guess it beats robbing a liquor store... 👎
