yes indeedy. just won a phone last night after closing quite a good number of accounts in the last week due to me reporting all iffy listings.
so I win a phone worth £400 for £90 but am suspicious as the ask a seller a question gets me no replys and the ebay account address is in a different location to the item plus the ebay account name isn't something wierd. plus the account address just says 'london'. also in the listing it had a 'contact me on
xxxxx@yahoo.com' which didn't match the email address on the ebay account contact details.
so I reported it to ebay and this morning get yet another email telling me the account was compromised and the auction has been removed etc.
I felt more relieved that disappointed.
