I was gonna say maybe someone could run that license plate, but it looks altered anyway.

Report it to Ebay security and they will remove the listing.

When you account gets hijacked and the hijacker lists somethig for sale as he phishes for more personal info or a stray down payment from a sucker eBay collects a listing fee from YOU. When you report the scam they issue you an eBay credit and keep the fee. They sit on your money and you get a ****ty credit.

I wish I understood exactly what you're saying. It seems that if someone hijacks my "identity" and then lists something in that name, I'm hit with a listing fee and other charges. Is this correct?

Yes you're hit with the charges they take your money for the fee, then when its corrected you only get a credit with eBay.

Thanks for the reply. Yet another example of corporate "What can we get away with?" instead of "What's the right thing to do?"
