A hijacked account is one that is legitimate, but the password has been compromised along with the PayPal account, and the seller doesn't know it. So the identify thief lists very high priced cards and sort of bargains, sells as Buy-It-Nows, clears out the PayPal account, and closes shop. The legit seller then gets the bad marks.
It's a way for a scammer to use the higher listing limits, since new accounts can't sell more than like $1000 for a month or two before they start accruing positive feedback. These scans he says are stolen, basically screen grabs from when the card was actually listed for sale. If he shows the links where they're currently up for auction/for sale elsewhere, it may back up his statement better. I Report-ed one of them. Maybe eBay will look into it.
