I'm beginning to suspect that us Aussies are being targeted. That's two potential eBay "bargains" in the last two days that have specifically mentioned only "Australia" in the shipping details. Hmmmmm............

How can this be? He's using the same description and pictures as the previous auction by a different seller. Plus he is one number away on the serial number from the original auction.

Whats really confusing is that this seller has a 100% feedback rating. It must be a phony auction but how does the scam work?

When I took a good look at the e-mail message header information it became obvious that someone has hi-jacked the sellers account.
