Is there anywhere to report suspicious trading activity (external to Steam)

I like to keep on top on my expansive wishlist and try to find the best prices before buying anything. I stumbled across a seller who is (in my opinion) breaching their EULA in regards to their steam account. I cannot see anywhere to flag this up; either on Steam Support or here in the discussions section. Anyone know how best to proceed on this?

trading activity
wishlist
seller
account
eula

makes zero sense in the correlation you imply.
the only one who can break an eula is a user. a 3rd party reseller cannot break any eula.

maybe try naming the sheep?

They are selling access to their account on ebay so people can download a game to their machine. About 50 games are posted on ebay under that seller.

Report them to eBay.

Ebays policy on that is, they don't allow it. Report it to them.

I'd imagine so. The user in question is using eBay's service to breach a contract that he has with another company - legit businesses tend not to like people who cheat other businesses.

Selling Steam accounts is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, and would result in the account being totally locked. This means the Ebay seller is trying to sell something that the buyer can't use as promised. So yes, ebay takes issues with sellers trying to sell things that are unusable to the buyer.
