Every Sunday night the same guy using various hijacked accounts puts a load of LP on ebay. Usually the same ones. Plus there are random events like this by various people who hijacked accounts and rip off other peoples listings. I only notice Les Pauls, but with the millions and millions of high dollar items on ebay, there must be at LEAST 10s of thousands of bogus auctions on ebay weekly.. And to think EVERY LAST hijacked account was caused by some schmoe voluntarily giving up his personal information to some alarming warning email/phishing scam!

the lifted listings takes no interaction with the person he lifts the auction from. So many of these say they are based in UK. I think some of these are sweat shops, with MANY people in one room who work for for organizations who pay them peanuts as they rake in the dough. Organized crime, and I am sure some are aligned with terrorists.

I know many of you will scoff!!

Of course their are plenty of independent ones too.
