Massive stolen eBay accounts?

Last Thursday, I created an eBay auction to sell my old PDA.
Friday, the object was sold! Yepppie! But the buyer had an evaluation level of -1! It was also specified in the auction details that the delivery was only for Europe. The buyer was in the United States?!? I few minutes ago, his evalution level went to -2, -3 with comments like “fake eBayer etc…
I immediately contacted eBay which quickly answered with a standard mail. It was a account used by a third party which has been immediately closed. They were busy with further investigations. Ok.

Saturday, I started a new auction for the same object. Sunday, idem, the object was sold! Same story: the buyer had an evaluation level going under zero minutes after minutes. Same comments (a vendor told that the problem occured five times in the week!)

It seems that eBay accounts were stolen! No more feedback from eBay…
