I'm pretty confident that this is what this guy is trying to pull. Or something like selling pictures of popular items (video games, car parts, brand name clothing) and then he emails various pictures of the item to the winning bidder (who has sent him $99 thru paypal for the item)
He's looking for established accounts with good feedback so he can seem trustworthy. Also, with +10 feedback, the auction can have a BIN meaning it's less likely to be shut down by eBay.
He's asking other people to do it because his eBay account has been suspended and his Paypal account has been frozen.
There actually isn't anything illegal because everything is clearly stated. It's deceptive, but not fraudulent and eBay's motto is "caveat emptor" (buyer beware).
