It's the oldest scam on ebay, they ask you to send the payment via email so that you have no recourse.

If you notice carefully, the text is not written in but rather placed in an image. That way, ebay's scam detection software can't notice it.

Last, the same picture was used in an auction in 2013 according to the tineye results.

What the scammers usually do is find an account that seems reliable, hack into it, and then post from there.

It's eBay's equivalent of the Nigerian prince scam.
It counts on you being too greedy to pass it up.

It's also listed in the baby category under carriers....

They never get their item and the account that got hacked gets dinged.
And the winner get fleeced if they're dumb enough to pay, although perhaps the hackee will refund the money they received for a non-existing item...

This D-Bag has been trying to rip people off for a long time. The auctions are so phony that almost no one would ever bid.

How many of his listings should I report?
