eBay Removes Listing for StingRay Cellphone Spying Tech

An apparently original StingRay cell phone surveillance device listed on eBay was taken down by the company on Tuesday after 404 Media contacted it about the listing. The device, which was labeled as used, was up for sale for $100,000.

The device was listed as “Harris Stingray Cellular Phone Surveillance w/ Power Cord & Rolling Case - USED.” Photos uploaded to the listing show the device, numerous cables, and a StingRay operating manual with the original Harris Communications logo. A close-up photo shows the power switch, which glows green when turned on. According to the operating manual, this device was from 2004.

“Powers on. Not fully tested,” the seller wrote in the listing details. “Only pictured parts are included in listing.” When reached for comment about whether the device was real and any background information on how they had obtained it, the seller responded, “No background.”
