Before you place that eBay® bid, wouldn't you like to know if the seller is legitimate, if they are trustworthy, or if the account was setup by a crook or if it was hijacked?
If you are concerned about fraudulent sellers or just incompetent sellers, Auction Inquisitor can help.

Use the Auction Inquisitor Software to quickly and easily analyize an auction before you risk your money. Drag your auction URL into the Auction Inquisitor window, or type the auction number, and Auction Inquisitor will automatically analyize the auction and show a report on the seller's legitimacy. Auction Inquisitor checks the most common signs of fraudulent auctions, seller feedback history, and over 100 elements that can indicate a fraudulent auction. Auction Inquisitor is much faster and easier than researching yourself plus it never forgets to check the first or the last feedback ratings of a seller.
Never place a bid on an auction without first running it through Auction Inquisitor to check for warning signs of fraudulent auctions.
