I am posting this here because I cannot find any other place to do so.
I have uncovered what may be a case of multiple ID theft, and the "perps" are using AW to list their items. I have contacted eBay, and I have sent AW an email to Customer Service, but There should be a more direct way to report this kind of activity.
So, check that email, and consider having a mechanism to report this kind of issue.
If you suspect theft, the right things to do are things you have done -- inform eBay and inform us. If you didn't get a response back from us yet, let me know.

I used the web form, and entered my email address as required - the same as the primary one you have in your database.
The auctions are still up as of 11:22 am PST.
If you can't locate the original email, I can resend the information if you can provide me with a "real" email address.
I won't post the questionable auctions publically, as I only have strong suspicions. I just looked at them more closely, and I am even more convinced they are trouble.
We are taking a look at the situation right now. Since these are eBay auctions, it is best to notify them first and see what they have to say on the matter. We will do everything that we can to help you regarding this situation.

Thanks, Sonya. I have reported this to eBay, but I thought since AW is being used to list the auctions, you would be interested.
I hope you see why I am suspicious of these listings.
We would be interested in knowing what eBay has to say -- we take fraud very seriously, and do the best that we can to help out our customers who become unfortunate victims.

Although I never got a response from eBay, the auctions were finally pulled around 1:00 today and the ID's are now NARU.
Diana responded to my email, just around the time they were pulled! They were there!
Just as an aside, another seller was complaining on one of eBay's chat sites that the seller in the auctions mentioned above had stolen his pictures and descriptions. And so it goes...
