This 'seller' has 855 items listed. But these two caught my eye

I think they're trying to cover every category

I thought there was a special place to test your listings (but I can't find it)

Found the policy

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/listing-no-item.html

Test listings

Restricted

To make sure buyers don't confuse a test listing with an actual listing, follow these guidelines:

Use the Lots More > Test Auction category only.
The word "test" must appear in both the listing title and the listing description.
You can only have 10 test listings at a time.
Listing fees apply to all test listings.

For test Feedback left or received for a test listing, follow these guidelines:

Create an account that you can use to leave or receive Feedback for a test listing. Don't use the account you have for buying or selling. If we see an account that breaks this rule, that account may be subject to suspension.
Make sure the test Feedback is used for testing purposes only. (If something looks amiss, we may remove test Feedback to avoid problems.)

Pretty sure this is an eBay Technical depts account.

Site programmers usually have their own special high tech accounts to run and test things but then they also use a basic account to make sure Joe Blows account has the same effect using standard settings.

IOW, test - basic - au, test account, basic settings, australian site.

You may refer to me as master now.

I like how the first one shows a phone yet is listed in the skirt category. I'm surprised no-one has seen a phone for $1 and hit the button.

I wondered the other day if it was an eBay account to try different things out.
