I've just clicked on the eBay link and now it's target page cannot be found (as eBay tells me 'We've looked everywhere') so it looks like a scam that the Ebay police have just taken down.
I'm guessing someone's eBay account had been hacked into (because the previous history was very good) and a load of spurious adverts inserted. I'm not sure what the motive would be - maybe it is collecting telephone numbers and email addresses that some chap in Nigeria can then try to exploit with a fraud scam?
I don't know the answer, but it does indeed seem to be aa scam.
