The same account has posted similar messages on the US boards recently.
See here:
On the US boards, at least, the account appears to be a recently created staff account:

See my OP - no eBay logo is showing on the Australian boards when this person posts.........

I've asked her on your thread on the Aus site.
Don't know if she will answer.
Has anyone else asked her?
or have people just posted about her to call her a troll?

Possibly the lack of eBay logo down under is related to the recent board upgrades, or the way that accounts are treated differently on different sites, or something about how the account was initially set up. That is just a guess, though.
There was some recent discussion about how staff accounts appear on the US site since recent board changes, and about the eBay logo no longer appearing in threads that have been responded to by eBay staff.
If that account is going to be used to make official announcements on other sites, eBay should make sure it appears as an official staff account there as well, to avoid any possible confusion.
