Yes, it has all the hallmarks, "Don't contact me through ebay" and the Gmail address etc
I don't know who to contact at ebay but they need to be informed and the listing removed.
I'm sure someone will be along shortly that knows how.

There is a report item button on the right of the listing.

Nothing yet...

EDIT
Oh - link seems gone - guess that the complaints filtered through.

A good sign of scams on ebay or similar sites is the use of a picture where you would expect text (this is to try and circumvent the built in checking of content) if you can't select the text it's a 90% chance of a scam. Indeed if it's too good to be true....

Well Well.... he replied on the 17th but I missed it...

Anyone in dundee want an immaculate '99 ?

"
Are you still interested in my car? I still have it available for sale if you still want to purchase it. This 1999 TVR Chimaera Convertible is in immaculate condition without any issues. I'm asking £3300 for a fast sale. The car is currently located in Dundee because I just finished the divorce with my wife and I have moved here. I will sell the car only using eBay, this way you'll be able to inspect the car before paying me and I'll be sure that I have a genuine buyer that isn't going to mess me around. Where are you located? Please email me as soon as you see this message because I have few other people interested in this car.

Thank you,
Joe
