Looks like a phishing scam to me! If it is legit, they got into the wrong business.

Can anyone confirm this? If this is a phishing scam... it's the most elaborate thtat I've seen. There's numerous press press releases, reviews from legit websites, and two VIDEOS of local news broadcasts talking about unwiredbuyer.com.

Here's what made me question it - I entered my buying ID and ran into a snag(I am a seller on eBay, and have a second ID for buying personal items).

I entered the ID and password... only to have it rejected "by eBay". Now I otta know my own password, as my main account is nearly 9 years old and the buying one is 5 years old. I've recently made a few purchases there, so I know I am not just being forgetful. BUT THEY DO HAVE MY ID AND PASSWORD!!!!!

Needless to say, I changed my eBay password within 5 minutes of that experience.

I also got the message that it rejected "by eBay" because the password was wrong. It was the same password that I have used on eBay for 10 years, I know I entered it correctly so I never was able to sign up.

I strongly urge you to change your password right away. Seriously.

I might go for the service to stay competative but I would be happier if a service like this never existed, it is better for the sellers than buyers. I would rather the finesse of playing the bidding game without this help. If I were bidding on a hot item and I thought I was bidding against someone using this service, I would likely pass bidding. As I said though, as a seller, it would only help to drive the price higher.
