I had this happen to my ebay account, no alerts of dodgy logins or anything and a password I didn't use for anything else cos I've changed it a millions times after forgetting it, but still someone got in and listed a bunch of Apple TVs for just under retail, only stock photo, about 50 of them. 3 had sold before customer service even replied to me but it was all sorted out in the end.

Isn't, old but not active account (3 items between 6-12 months ago, buyer only) suddenly selling large #s of a single commercial good at a too good to be true price, stock only photos, and nothing else, exactly the blueprint for a taken over account?
Technically the risk is low in the sense that you will have ebay/paypal/CC buyer protection, but I'd hazard the chance of getting the camera you want are slim.
