Suspicious eBay seller

dunkleosteus430

I've seen this seller, "Sius Buddhas" or "ssarah712," in several item listings in my saved searches recently. All of their auctions have "buy it now" prices in their listings:

Another thing is, they all of a sudden have over 23,000 listings for all kinds of things (mostly collectibles, including lots if rare coins,) but no sold items in the past ninety days:

Side note: in the picture above is three of their listings, all of which are pattern coins. You may recognize the photos as coming from listings from other sellers on eBay.

They have lots of feedback, but it's all for Buddha statues.

Excuse me for being all over the place, it's midnight and I'm tired. You should probably just check out their store for yourself to see what I'm talking about. Here's a random listing of theirs so that you can visit thier store.

I'm not exactly sure what to do about this. I think there's a similar thread going on right now, but I wasn't able to see the seller's name because the listing was removed.

Happy memorial day!

One of the lots, the idiot even transferred over the original seller's business card image. This account also has been routinely highjacked by the same person(s). eBay could stop them for now easily by simply flagging the image they put in every listing directing buyers to their email address. This always happens on a Sunday, and usually a holiday weekend, like this time.

This has been happening for a while now. It seems like someone hijacks legitimate eBay accounts with good feedback and lists a bunch of items that can be found from other sellers on eBay. The listings always start low and the description has the same message of contacting an outside party. Whenever you see these, steer clear.

It's happened again.

Same thing. Please report.
