ebay-purchase-program.com
(a fraud domain)
was recently registered and is currently being hosted by:
http://www.dondominio.com/ http://whois.domaintools.com/dondominio.com
That in itself is not unusual, as you can see by the list of spoof sites here:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/04/spoof-sites.html
It is quite common for registrars and web hosts to allow fake sites to be on their servers.
The thing that is notable about ebay-purchase-program.com, is the fact that it was allowed to be registered using the data that is presented in the whois for the domain.

Not only did this web host, SOLUCIONES CORPORATIVAS IP,SLU
aka DonDominio allow a fake site to be hosted on its servers, it allowed the scammers to use eBay's real name and location to be used in the obviously invalid whois data.
To make matters worse, the web host has allowed the fake site to be registered to a defunct fake site:
secure-buyer-protection.com
http://whois.domaintools.com/secure-buyer-protection.com
That domain is mentioned in a scam here:
