I had sent the seller a couple of questions about the validity of the chips. He responded (twice) with a bunch of the usual b.s.

Just received a LEGITIMATE email from eBay saying:

“Our records show that you recently contacted or received messages from chlssls01 through eBay's messaging system. This account was recently found to have been accessed by an unauthorized third party, who may have used the account in an attempt to defraud other members.

We've taken action to restore this account to the original owner, but wanted to let you know to be suspicious of any communication you may have received from them. Nothing is wrong with your account at this time – this message is just being sent as a precaution. If you have received any messages from chlssls01 that appears suspicious, please feel free to forward them to us at spoof@ebay.com for review.”

Nice job to all of you chippers that first identified this fraud, put a light on this rat, and helped stop some innocent person from getting screwed.
