You mean I won’t be receiving my immaculate Ferrari 250 GTO for the £3,456 pounds I payed????????
Seriously. You have to be the sort of person who eats soup with a fork to think stuff like that is genuine.
If they weren’t making thousands from it on a weekly basis they wouldn’t bother.Seriously. You have to be the sort of person who eats soup with a fork to think stuff like that is genuine.
Please do report them, it only take seconds.
Bank holidays are when the less astute start surfing for bargains - so this weekend is prime scamming time for classic cars, caravans, campers and boats etc.
You haven’t tried my wife’s soup have you?
There’s nothing dodgy about this per se, it’s just a heap of s

On Auto Trader at £50,000. Seems legitimate.Scamscum is back, but with a new image this time :
Plenty of fraudulent "bargains", as usual. Indeed, exactly the same bargains as usual?

Why eBay seemingly makes no effort to automatically identify little-used or semi-dormant accounts suddenly acquiring over 1000 vehicle auctions, all with an identical image, is beyond me!They are on about every 3 days, typically one seller with 1000+scam listings
I buy cars and bikes for a living and sifting past all these scam ads takes time so it's frustrating that ebay keep letting them on
I used to "report seller" but it typically took 3+ days to get them removed, I even tried calling as I got sick of it and questioned why they couldn't place limits on accounts - there really aren't many companies that are selling 1000+ cars at a time, I'd suggest the basic limit should be 3 cars unless you pass a secondary security check but as always ebay can't be bothered to sort anything
Meanwhile they have closed my account 3 times in 3 months which takes 48hrs to restore because they can't understand why I have multiple ads and zero sales - because I only use Classified Ads and it triggers their system as fraud

Unusual - only 80 other carshttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144419330627?
It really frustrates me that ebay can't get a grip on this, it costs me hours a week scrolling through scam ads
