Possible Fraudulent Listing On Ebay Camera 281

Hi Guys,

I sold my camera last week on ebay (#281) last week, sale went great and buyer, a rental house in LA is very happy (they got the camera today). Someone who bid on my camera sent me this link, which is apparently a fraud, copying my listing and photos:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=140205201130&Category=21165&_trksid=p3907.m29

Thanks!

Is there a way to contact eBay about this scam? They take this stuff very seriously, but I'm not familiar with the procedure to report it.
 
And they added an image for the new text, to hide their email address from skimmers.

Definitely fraudulent, you need to contact eBay ASAP and have it removed.

Auction ended early, but not deleted by Ebay - hopefully the single bidder didn't send any moneyh!
 
Hi,

I always said prices would fall but €3000 is a bit too low!

Hello,

I saw your auction at Ebay for the #281 Red One.

I am very interested in this item, and I would like to buy it.

I am curious whether it was you that sold it at reduser.net earlier? Didn't you find anyone interested in this great offer?

Can you confirm that no modification has been done to the camera?

It has no modification. If you want to buy it now for the price of 3000EURO with shipping and handling included, i will need your full name, address(shipping address) and username so i can contact the eBay team to let them know about our transaction, and after they will approve it, you will receive an invoice containing all the steps that you need to follow for this to be a safe and fast transaction. Also a phone number is required where you can be found at any hour(cell phone). My auction is 14 days money back guarantee (if it's not like we agreed, or broken you will receive the money back). I can ship in 3 calendar days with tracking number, and please let me know if we can arrange a deal.
Thanks

That is good news.

For verification could you please access the menu option Menu -> Setup -> Display -> Status -> Serial Key and report the 8 digit hex code to me?

thanks!
