Someone's account has been compromised. The hacker is listing all sorts of stuff for über-low prices and hopes they can get someone to fall for the scam before ebay catches on and shuts 'em down.

As your link already does not take us to the listing, I'm assuming ebay has already deleted them.

Moved this to OT, since it's not really a deal ;)

I actually had my ebay account compromised a couple years ago. They tried to sell an expensive swing set, of all things. haha

This ebay lister has a lot of $2.50 B-I-N items: Nikon Nikkor 200 mm F2G AF s VR II If Ed Lens | eBay

They cannot be bona fide. In fact, this one says it is for sale for $1600 in the description, which is still waaaay too low!!!

One thing I've noticed you have to watch out for on eBay, is sometimes, a seller will list something an an absurdly-low price, and then charge outrageously-high shipping and handling. It's against eBay's policies, as the usual motive is to cheat eBay out of its fair commissions; and if you report it, eBay will usually shut it down.
