Hmm, burying the fact it is a picture in the bottom line of a load of standard blurb. Shady in my opinion and if it was somebody I knew who had been suckered in I would be more than slightly annoyed. Might be worth emailing the buyer before they pay for it.

Imagine how amusingly clever the cock who put this on eBay feels.

Judging by their feedback I think they've noticed

Think this must have done the rounds on the forums - when I looked it had 3700 hits, 15 mins later 5200

A con merchant has managed to get hold of the password from a genuine user

That seller had sold about 148 items previously, he'd always had good feedback. So why suddenly do something so stupid that it guarentees no ones going to buy off him again?

Unless the account has been hacked into and used by a shister to rapidly extract some money using the sellers good name then dissapear.
