The seller is 079gabriel2005, and has many numismatic and bullion listings (as well as unrelated listings). A notice on all listings indicates that the auction results will not be honored and that the items must be purchased off site. Please report this seller to eBay so that they will be blocked.
Here is a link to their listings, along with the notice that appears:

FYI, it appears that most/all of their listings have already been taken down.

@LanceNewmanOCC .... Perhaps... What do you see??? Cheers, RickO
They have been running the same thing on half a dozen pieces of silver hollow ware for several months. As soon as they get a bid or two, the listings disappear then reappear a week or so later. Apparently it is a pawnshop trying to liquidate.
.
well i can't tell you that as it would defeat the purpose!
a hint is ebay and NON blocked info.
Well OK then.... I will not lose any sleep over it... I have the patience of a saint. Cheers, RickO
I see his address, phone number and email address
@LanceNewmanOCC I see about 200 buy it now listings for religious icons, which may be the real seller's actual listings. I looked at several listings and none of them have the instructions to purchase items off site.
It appears this may be a case of a legitimate eBay account that was temporarily hijacked. When I created the thread last night, there were thousands of phony auction listings for coins, bullion, sports cards, etc. Those were all removed within about 10 minutes of when I first posted about it here.
ya, we've seen this situation at least a few times now. unfortunately.
yup. first email ive seen in years on ebay!
Very curious. Appreciate your analysis. Peace Roy
