Go to whois.com, plug in the URL and you can find out the owner's name and address. Use that info to research the site.

 

It appears to be an affiliate site of some sort.

Looks scammy to me. The listings look like they go back to eBay. It’s a marketplace but I wouldn’t trust it.

LOL back button as a buyer for sure!

 

Just tried to shop on amazon.com through the site and was presented with pages of spam. Luckily there was a skip button on each page.

Ok thanks, heres the link.... I am being told somewhere else ,this is fake... I hope not, because if that's true, everyone's items have been lifted off ebay. But I do know when this stuff is over MY HEAD. thanks please tell me what you think. Inquiring minds need to know from those who are smarter! grasshopperx.

Yes, I saw this in a thread here on the boards yesterday or the day before.  I took a peak and as far as I can tell all of my eBay listings are on it.  I have no idea what is.

No need to be a techie!

 

Previously mentioned, it's an affiliate site. the show listings from many websites, standalone and marketplaces like eBay. You can see a list of them on this page: https://www.whohou.com/our-merchants

 

The listing there all lead back to the original source (in this case eBay) where the actual purchases take place. whohou get a commission when someone click on a listing and then makes a purchase on the original site.

 

There are hundreds perhaps thousands of these sites which advertise your eBay listings and earn a small fee if an item is purchased by a buyer who finds your listings via that site.

 

Nothing to fear............unless making a sale is something you are afraid of.

I am not in the know about this kind of stuff either, but it looks like the person that owns this site gets a commission every time someone buys something from eBay through their website.
