2,000+ items ending in 24- hrs? Anyone else think seller ellenmargaret account has been hacked?

So I was just browsing around for some camera stuff and found this seller, ellenmargaret, posting a few lenses.  Nothing odd, looked like they are scheduled to end in 24 hours or less.

 

Then I saw the same picture of an item.

 

So I dug deeper and the seller usually sells trinkets, smaller priced items.  But all of sudden, now has 2,000+ high value items ending in less than 24 hours.

 

uh, eBay?

Yup, she's been hacked. Here's her fb (scroll down to see her hacked acknowledgement post):

HAcked for sure.

The camera auctions look nothing like her trinket listings.

@rankar,

 

Looks like the yearly round of Spring / Summer scams started early this year. 

 

However, there are many sellers who list auctions, an will end them all on one or two days each week. That is not necessarilly a sign of a scam.
