Thanks for watching. The very same thing is still ongoing. Just found hacked accounts offering (fake) apple ipads or within the last week to week and a half. There are still redirect (to fake ebay page) listings being reported to. There are more scams on ebay now than there ever were. Worst part, the scammers are now using paypal accounts which there is a huge black market for. Several sites now offer fake ebay and paypal accounts for sale.
glad you shared this useful information. my old buyer account was recently hacked and after a long process i was able to get it closed. seen this video and decided to close my seller account too. i swore off of selling on ebay once the feedback policies changed. i won't contribute to their immoral activities in any way.
also closed my paypal account since they are owned by ebay. this will be hard to get used to, but i'll work around it.
I remember posting my FIRST item for sale on ebay a few years back. It didn't sell..but they wanted to charge me both a listing fee AND a "percentage comission on the sale"...even though no sale had occurred. After MANY DOZENS of attempts to contact them about the problem, I decided that I would simply start logging their contacts that did not address the situation at hand, and charge them for my time. Eventually, they sent a collection agency after me. Why be open when you can screw people?
Yep, that is one of the big problems with ebay, those canned emails. Most everyone will probably finally give up and just pay the fraudulent-unwarranted fees.
I seriously doubt that a real human being ever reads an email. We have all seen thousands & thousands of reports where folks got back replies which had NOTHING to do with the original email.
Apparently eb only uses live people to harass bloggers and posters on their very own "Community Forums" and elsewhere.
That doesn't surprise me. At least, it doesn't surprise me any more than if I heard a politician was corrupt...a criminal was in court...or maybe that there was only one cannibal left because he ate the rest of them.
ebay would not help me when I was being harassed by 3 individuals - living on the same street - Waxhaw, NC ..... but, when I was not able to find items for a customer, because our home completely flooded, I got a telephone call last Sunday afternoon and an ALERT that I was in violation of policy - and it even said police action could be taken -
I would be very surprised if Apex was billed. They seem to have a close relationship with ebay. I found it hard to believe that ebay wouldn't take action against this blatant scammer.
I couldn't find the particular forum thread but I posted a warning.
This is but a micro-facet, especially when u look at the larger context of all the fraud. ebay has been found to harbour all sorts of other fraud & organized crime, for instance, recently a gold level powerseller, Stairway-to-the-Stars arrested in a conspiracy, a $100 Million 'family' crime ring was caught in Polk county Fl, and now the 3 million $ record collection scam, where the 'winner' jopsoup had his account hijacked. Of course, ebay benefits from all these.

@steadacol Thank you very much. Glad this helped. :)
People need to make sure to close those dormant eb-pp accs & associated bnk/CC accs #s etc. eb is still under hack attack, still in denial.
Looking back, & after everything that's transpired since, I feel strongly I've been correct in many ways...
Not only did Meg fly w ungawdly amount$, but now eb is in serious decline & it looks like the current mngmnt is destroying it before our very eyes!

Hello sydneydoc
Cappnonymous has absolutely no connection to the seller/victims seen in this video nor anywhere in Cappnonymous consumer awareness vids.
I make no claims to reputations of victims. 'Poor' was the gut reaction during live screen recording. Likely they will be billed.
This account was clearly hijacked -also reported on the ebay de forums as such.
However, thank you for your suggested video. I urge viewers to look further & make their own conclusions.
Thnx 4wtchng&cmmtnng

Hello again. Hmmmm... I do see now that *only* selbyandeke were reported in the Sammelliste für gehackte Accounts thread on ebay de security panel.
I find that unusual, considering they both contained the very same email address.
Perhaps there is more to this after all. Thank you very much for alerting me to this, and I hope viewers will also pay attention.
cappnonymous 3 years ago
I don't know what's going on here but I certainly don't trust ebay nor their approaches to "security".
Apexents (the claimed "poor victim") is a scammer. They sell worthless diamonds fraudulently through ebay.
youtube watch?v=izGMYiG8f80
Perhaps Apex are chasing publicity ?
DO NOT TRUST EBAY nor APEXENTS.

This could be huge! If they are charging people for these "mistakes", then that is criminal.
