Default DODGY OR WHAT????

I have just been nosing on FLE-BAY, when i saw a honda S2000 with a buy it now price of £3200, A merc ML 52 plate for £8000, a mini cooper S chilli pack for £4000. All with restricted bids, but with the offer to be on the restricted bidding list. All had no bids and only a few hours left. Whats going on??? Oh yes all the sellers seem to have a very good rating and no negatives!

They will all be from hijacked accounts and requesting payment via western union

Why don,t they get a fu**ing job??? Can the guys at Ebay not stop them? It's obvious it is dodgy.

I know of a boy who lost £4200 through these or similar, apparently it's the Italian Mafia or such like!?!?!

If the account details have been changed like the password or email address you noo longer own the account so can't do much about it. When my account got hijacked (my fault, I got caught by phishing) at first I still had access to the account and contacted ebay before changing my password. Somehow after that the hijackers changed my email account and password on the account and I wasn't able to access it Because I'd already contacted ebay they shut down the account and ended the listings quickly.

The reason they use 1 day auctions is so that they can catch people out who don't check their ebay accounts daily
