    It looks like ebay is at work on this one, coins are gone.

    so since ebay is/has been removing the majority/all listings on these accounts, especially coins since they're feeling pressure from reporting (amongst other things), this would suggest the accounts either have been hacked/sold or the owners have gotten c19 and lost their minds and gone rogue but NOT all listings are/have been removed. could be a process before they all are, so i'm not picking but if some/all of the accounts are receiving positive feedback and all the listings aren't being removed, what does this mean; these accounts are the worst kind of scams? some legit mixed with some not and if so, should we be lobbying to have just the coin listings removed, or the accounts NARUed altogether?

    i had to think this one over for a bit and have been since they've been starting to be posted here (fraudulent listings) and obviously there is either some software/spreadsheet or even a rogue team (quite possibly) of scammers/criminals trying to either disrupt the system or cash out in a major way. not very tactful as criminals often times don't appreciate just how obvious their efforts are or just pure desperation. (7 billion people in the midst of a pandemic is not a pretty place to be)

    so my post/inquires are intended to see the bigger picture and then preen off the unnecessary down to a fine point. (not to dissimilar to what i/we did years ago prior to the account names being anonymized) it was quite a spiderweb that started to unravel at that time just from what i saw of my own efforts and i believe at least some of the anonymization came just not from honest sellers reports but scammers (those with an axe to grind tend to yell the loudest ironically) posing as honest folks or just thinking they could manipulate the system despite their obvious scammy behavior.

    thanks to the OP and future posters that post other links so the accounts can be monitored at some level to see how the situations are handled as thus help more effective future reporting. fwiw
