Is this Genuine?

Can someone confirm to me whether this domain with a 'PR7' is or is not

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7573422768&fromMakeTrack=true


It has no back links in yahoo or msn, but still shows a PR7 on the future page rank tool..

According to the pagrank verifier it's not a real PR7:

The checker says that the PR7 of the domain up for auction is really the PR belonging to: condosatrosewood.com/

Yup looks that way. They both seem to have the exact same backlinks.

Here's another one that looks a little fishy.

if you are unsure, you can also use a tool such as urltrends.com to look up a website. It will also point to links, i.e. substituting a fake PR for a Real one.

Thanks I just needed another party to confirm this. They are selling loads of PR5, PR6 and PR7 domains every week that are fake - I think anyone who uses ebay should be alerted of this, and also they should be reported to ebay, as they are selling some domains for $200+ and knocking out several per week...

report them to ebay asap

You've used your own due diligence to discover it's fake pagerank.

Yeah I ahve noticed this several times on ebay and reported people but not sure if ebay does anything or not.

I am going to post a question to the lister and see what he/she says if you havent already.

I've tried reporting dozens of these auctions ... no response ...

Similarly, I collect a lot of books ... I can't tell you how many claims of "First Editions" that I have reported to Ebay that nothing gets done about ...

It's amazing how "good" Ebay is at instantaneously identifying and removing certain types of fraudulent listing and absolutely totally ignoring others ...
