Why is this scam everywhere on eBay....

And why are eBay not doing anything about it?



They always seem to have the same format. One stock photo of a car (usually rarer cars or something a little different) then a second photo giving out the contact details. It’s everywhere at the moment and I’m getting fed up of reporting countless examples. Please watch out!

I search almost daily for Riley Biarritz, a rare pre-war saloon. If it's listed, it's always fraudulent, like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1931-Riley-9-Biarritz-s...

This happens to me too... odd that they often target quite specialist/enthusiast cars so well!

Facebook seems to have a load of these scams too:





Same text on all of them, even same spelling mistakes.... not sure I can see what the scam is though other than the item not existing!

There are 1,251 items on offer! eBay are pathetic!

How long must it take to post this number of adds? Is it done automatically?
