This looks like one of Sal's listings, but one of the pics says BIN only and it's listed as bid only? Then the description says $2385. Weird.

It’s a scam, the guy has 31k items listed on eBay just hoping someone falls for it. Uses someone else’s advert but says if you buy direct he will do you a great deal. You would never receive anything. Used to happen on eBay U.K. all the time but not noticed for a couple of years now.

Wow looks like they took it down.
Nice one.
Must've been because he was trying to avoid ebay fees in his scam!
Did they cancel his account with the other 31 000 items?

Still has 294 items listed in two countries, the U.K. listings look genuine but the us stuff is scam.
I wonder how this affects the person who’s genuine account has been hacked?

What’s the username? Maybe we can report at that level

My understanding of ebay methods is if it doesn't put them the wrong side of the law but does makes them money, then they leave it on.
So maybe report the listing to the relevant us authority?

they will remove it as the listings are trying to avoid the platform and eBay fees

How does someone manage to list 31k items....or is this a bot thing or a team of scammers?
