That is taking the whole fraud thing to a new level ... I was merely
talking
about the high priced item, low price on ebay, no pick up available etc.

You saying there is a page on ebay where you are listed as being a bidder
and you never placed a bid? It's a not a page that looks like ebay but with
a different URL? Just trying to cover all options here.

Email me the URL off list and I'll go and take a peek. eBay accounts are
hacked all the time but this does seem odd.
