I got some emails like this 2-3 months ago when several hijacked accounts were bidding on bruces stuff

sometimes it didn't make sense because of course fleaBay would send out the kind of email that would be needed

it would go something like this:

this listing was the victim of bid fraud due to several fleaBay member accounts being hijacked by hackers who subsequently made bids with those accounts

we never would have known about it had not the actual bidders contacted us to tell us they never had bid on these items because, well we at fleaBay do not maintain extra security measures to prevent this kind of fraud. Sorry.

....... something like that.. yeah

 I got two messages from ebay on two items that
I was underbidder on (the other was the Danish Sting) in Bruce's
auctions that closed before he left for vacation. Apparently, someone bid on
auctions with a highjacked account. Did anyone else get these messages?
They were in my email box and my ebay in-box, so I think they're
legit.

I was first underbidder on the Sting, but missed the Farewell by a mile. I wondered why it went so high.

  Dear court-appointed-lawyer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]),

The listing in which you were a bidding participant:

280152409661 - y181 FAREWELL MY LOVELY Czech 11x16 '75 cool Vlach art!

has been ended by eBay. Since the listing was ended by eBay, for the
transaction itself is null and void.

1st Choice - We ended the listing due to bidding activity that took
place without the authorization of the owner of one of the accounts that
bid on the listing. We have ended the listing to maintain the integrity
of the eBay site and the bidder?s account that was accessed. We are
working to restore the bidding account to its rightful owner, and we are
working with the account owner to prevent any additional unauthorized
activity.
or
2nd Choice - Due to privacy concerns, we cannot disclose the exact
reason the listing itself was ended. However, we can inform you that we did
not take any action on the seller's account for this listing.

ADD to either choice: As a result, we have informed the seller that
they may relist their item if they wish to do so. Please feel free to
re-bid on this item under the new item number. To locate the new item
number, please check the sellers list of items at:

<http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/search_seller.html>http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/search_seller.html

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and we
thank you for being a part of the eBay trading community.

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)
