This appears to be another one of those that they list 57,000 new listings all ending at the same time.
Notice the photo in the listing says "Buy it now only" "No bidding allowed" "All bids will be removed"
This same scam pops up every once in a while most of the time it has been accounts in other countries that have been hacked.
Buyers Beware!!!
Please Report!!!

I called ebay to report this account but I don't have a bunch of confidence in the CSR I talked to.
She said "I don't know anything about coins" I told her you don't need to know anything about coins just report the account to your safety & security team.
Let's get some more reports on this one!
Thanks for your help!
They even hijacked listing photos from Canyon City Coins.

Report submitted!

My current Registry sets:
✓ Everyman Mint State Carson City Morgan Dollars (1878 – 1893)
✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
This a long ongoing scam. The same items have been posted under hacked accounts at least thirty times by my count. Ebay will do nothing. The purported seller, who is known to me, has been notified.
Thank you! If the account owner reports it ebay may be quicker to resolve the problem.
It's like whack-a-mole with these listings.

These account hacks have been going on for a while now, not sure why ebay can't improve their security.
It doesn't make me feel good that they have all of my personal info, at least with PayPal your banking & SSN were protected.

Looks like ebay has removed the listings from the latest hijack.
This is a persistent one who uses images and/or links to ensnare folks. It just keeps going and going and going...

This is why I only buy from a smallish group of trusted sellers on Ebay.

Seems a lot of us reported that highjacked account. Here is another obvious one.

Even has Julian's 1799 BB-184 dollar, with the same images and title that is listed as a currently offered direct purchase. (I informed him.)

Already reported by me hours ago, but ebay had taken no steps that I could tell.

Same half dozen items listed in the American coin silver category. The listing are always exactly the same, but with a new bogus seller ID. Ebay does not seem to care. Luckily the mandatory off ebay BIN prices are hugely over market, so nobody has gotten bit -- so far.
Coin listings are gone...
