    <algorithm>$<cost>$<salt>/<encrypted_password>
It's more than I expected from eBay, I think because of the likes of LinkedIn and their user credential leak, I expected bad habits from larger companies.

Rainbow tables can't be used against the passwords, so each one will need to be computed individually to either find the result or a collision. That's likely why the seller is only asking for $1000.
