[ARC5] Receiver Bench Test Adapter

[Andy]

Hi to all, and thanks for the many comments and suggestions.

I will certainly drive forward on this one with eBay.

Yes, Wayne, this is really clever.

It's actually scary.

I spent a lot of time last night changing passwords on any account/site that
may have been involved.

I know that the "other" created eBay account (andmacal_90) was bidding
against me due to the email to my hacked email account (am131 at rice.edu
<mailto:am131 at rice.edu> ) suggesting other products, since I had LOST that
auction. "w5acm" won it.

 

Be aware that it is not good to allow monetary accounts to link via facebook
or google. I didn't, but the creator of the noted new eBay account name
somehow did.

 

After it is all over, I will post any useful results/info.

 

Once again, MANY THANKS!

You definitely should contact eBay!  In addition you should seek out that
ebay chat site where people share their experiences.


Note that only the seller (asdie from ebay itself) knows the whole ID of
bidders and only the seller can track down the seller's possible e-mails.
It is normal practice for people wanting to push up the price of a valuable
item to get a friend to put in a bid to push it up.  It sure sounds like the
seller did research on the bidder and then created an ebay account in his
name to have a surreptitious way to have someone bid on the item.  The new
fake ebay account traces back to the other bidder, so they can't find out
who did it.  If the fake bidder accidentally bid too high and won the item,
ebay would be contacting that bidder for a non-payment complaint, and that
would lead back to the real bidder

 

It's a clever scam.  Tell everyone about it!
