Looks like there is 7 sales in the history... Time to do some investigating! He/she does work for the company as they can search availibility of the nights. 
Its clearly against the Terms and Conditions anyways... The rate (although wrong) is posted and there is another ebay listing for the Fairmont Singapore.

I hate pillagers. They ruin things for the rest of us.

I don't like stuff like this one bit (and if anyone remembers my slickdeals fiasco, I'm not making this up) and plan on making sure he won't be posting any of --our-- deals on eBay for personal monetary gain.
Remember, I'll share deals with my personal friends on an as-needed basis but won't post these up on other forums nor will I try to make any monetary gains on sharing such info.
I suggest we work on outing such tools.

Maybe whoever else has an Ebay account here should also report him. Maybe if Ebay gets enough reports, they'll pull his ad much faster.
Reported him to eBay for listing fraud.

The ebay seller has some interesting ads though. The Radisson Gold Points listing is for something that can be had for free too. All you have to do is google it and you have the Gold Points/Orange promotion to get automatic Silver Elite status. Some people I guess...

yah. that is correct. but if he/she is using someone else's Booker ID, its going to ruin it for everyone else. Both for all of us within Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and for all the friends and family. Selling the promotion as well as advertising the rate is against the rules.

Anyone who has an Ebay account and wants to protect this offer for the rest of us, please report the following two auctions as fraudulent with incorrect rates and also state that it's against Fairmont's F&F terms and conditions.

Lets all work together to stop this guy from ruining this promotion for the rest of us!

there is no stopping individuals from using ebay or other auction sites to try to auction off information. I have seen auctions that try to sell information on how to access flyertalk or compile flyertalk information and sell it on ebay and ASAIK, none of the posters here whose handles are highlighted are in a position to stop it. You can only complain and make it as loud as during spartan times.
Some of the auction sellers are also flyertalk members. Go figure.

I've just removed a handful of threads that were not on topic and were "heading south" quickly. The thread is about the Fairmont Hotels promotion. It is not about the ethics of selling information on eBay. Please take that discussion to Omni.
