here is one from today,

These guys have been at it for many years, on and off. It is always from a hacked account. I have reported dozens of these.

As far as I can tell it is a phishing scam - they really want your email address, and then the scamming can really start.

Yup. I saw it but got taken down before I could report.
Keep reporting it, is all you can do!

Ebay suck, but that's another matter!

Up again now from a different (hacked) account. I've reported and no doubt will be taken down soon.

Ebay reporting system is annoying - very tight categories and it doesn't let one elaborate to explain that these are repeated hacking attacks.

Could well be phishing.
