Dodgy auction?

[NiceCupOfTea]

What possible motive could somebody have for buying this?

Why do ebay allow it?

[Hot Potatoes]

Surely this would come back to bite this person quite easily if this was bought to be used for crime. Sums up todays UK culture though...

[airportparking]

with 912 feedback he must be doing well!

Really pisses me off that they let this kind of thing go on.

[Fossilface]

I think you'll find that if you point it out the E bay they will delete the auction and possibly ban him.

[CampDavid]

[Liquid Knight]

They don't - its not allowed.

Several people have reported it now (they even have a specific option to report log books being offered without the vehicle) so I don't expect the auction to be up for much longer.

Its obvious for their "use" but is selling a shell with a V5 illegal?

I dont think it is, if anything you should sell it with the V5 if your`e selling it.

[Liquid Knight]

You can only sell a V5 with a complete or near complete car.

why?

[mgtony]

What is his reply to this question suppose to imply with the exclamation mark?

Q: Do you have the VIN plates too?
A: Hello, no just the v5 and number plates. Did have til last week! cheers

[anonymous-user]

I'm having a thick moment.

Why is this wrong/illegal? What can someone do with a logbook?

[JonyTVR]

Make new VIN plates and change a cars identity that may have been a write off/stolen etc or classic cars to make them tax exempt.

[anonymous-user]

Aha I see.

Put a stolen or cloned vehicle as that vehicle
