eBay Fraud Scams exposed

A month ago eBay stated there was a experiment or glitch on their site where it brought a few hundred thousand listings, albeit eBay claims 5,000 or 35,000 listings onto eBay site which were not real listings.  You could not buy anything on these listings, they were just there to be counted.  eBay promptly anounced the glitch listings have been removed.  Well since then we have been watching this eBay vendor

Screenshot of  One of the 141,000 items that you cannot buy although it appears Active Listing

If you click on the above link, you will see although there are over 140,000 items listed today you cannot purchase a single one.  If you click on any item TheNerds shows for sale, the detail listing screen will show you this item is no longer for sale.  So you cannot buy anything from this vendor on eBay and we have been spot checking for the duration of the month and have screenshots but this vendor receives feedback btw… their 96% feedback is shamefull according to eBay standards….. 

If this is a glitch, it is a persistent one.  If this is an effort by eBay to inflate their listing numbers to pacify Wall Street, that would be a shame.
