    No, of course eBay's not doing it themselves. But, they obviously haven't plugged the hole that lets these guys redirect their auction listings to some phishing site. I bet you a ton of people just gave these crooks their eBay ID's and passwords...

    Oh my god. I wonder if this had anything to do with when my proxy was allegedly used for phishing according to ebay abuse?

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=108930

    It makes just a little bit of sense when you consider that the ultimate url ALMOST goes to a legit ebay auction. But that auction does not redirect a user anywhere? So I don't get it...was I hacked or was my proxy used in a phishing scam directly...or there was a typo? Or what? :confused:
