Nice email address on the advert - these need to be tracked down and shot.

Poor chap!

It's a shame his name is Mr S. C. Rotumway, then.

don't understand what the scam is though

if you want your scam to look legitimate why not put a sensible buy it now price on (say a grand or two under trade?)

I always wonder that too. No one can fall for it can they?

[o.versteer]

Sorry for being a bit of a naive dimwit here, but what exactly is the point of these listings? I've seen loads of them and always wondered. Are they trying to get people to put down a deposit and then bugger off?

[slapmatt]

O.versteer - I'm with you mate. There are alot of these on eBay, they almost always get cancelled, as they are obviously dodgy.

[dick dastardly]

If it's a scam then how come he's got a feedback of 171? Is this a stolen ID d'ya think?

Also all his history of purchases are in Euros!

'cos he's an ebay Netherlands member?

[Extra 300 Driver]

But why list in GBP for the RR?

Not quite as blatant as this one, where the small print says you're only buying the "Picture" of the feautured item!

Clicky

Because he has had his account stolen by the scammer.

seen things like this before, and its really cheeky, but, there really is nothing that the buyer can do! it does clearly state that you will be bidding on a picture, even though it is at the bottom of a very long decription.
