Make sure you read the description. There's some nutters on there, and some people massively out of pocket. $413 for a link!

^^ agreed these listing shouldn't be alowed, but at the same time the please read is just a slight give away no??
 
Hmm. It's not and black and white as you may think.

There are teams of eBayers out there who will bid on fake stuff like this as the account used will be charged a final listing fee and more often or not they are opportunists rather than account hacks.

I also think eBay tends to turn a blind eye to this..... after all they get paid and it is technically a legitimate auction.

It does for me though, ruin part of the ebay experience :(
 
Yeah, i have heard of these scams aswell!!

Bloody annoying thats why i always check the description because alot of people dont, for example americans....
 
I haven't looked but normally this time of year you get ebayers selling real Monopoly cards but listing them like they are the rare missing ones from the mcDonalds sets.
 
Thing is people just dont bloody read it. Im selling some alloys at the moment and have stated that its local pickup only and that I definitely wont ship them. I have had six people in four days asking me much to ship to where ever....

Yep, every listing I've ever done (100's) I always specify UK delivery only. Without fail there's always at least one asking how much shipping to Romania is or whatever :?
 
Haha and the listing on eBay for my GT hasn't had one question. Not even a stupid offer!... Well apart from one...

This is worth a read...

hey there this is soo what im after. you say you'll only part ex a Gti6?
I have here and now to offer you.......

A full rally spec, three legged race chicken!!
Its in prime, easily capable of out running the most prized race ostrich, I kid you not shes a beaut. She is given so much love care and attention, maybe a little too much. Fed only on the best feed and only given very special treats.
Now if this offer is not good enough as it is I will even throw in my lucky race gogles, the strap is slightly tatty, missing a lense (just close that eye), a plaster holding the strap on but other than that perfect condition. They are limited edition,genuine fakes,cheaper than asda, 'OKIES'!! (will kill me to give these away)
And just to sweeten the deal I have just licked the jam out of my jammie dodger that I am currently eating and sucked it a little on one side but for you I am willing to throw this in aswell as you seem like a top guy.

I look forward to hearing from you

Lol, that's genius
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: that's mint. I hope you told him to straight swap it :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Yes, it appeared in my ebay messages in question to my listing... Although saying that I do have a personalised plate so.. It is most probably one of my mates finding themselves hilarious, but that's a pretty long shot.
 
Looking at the OP's screenprint, surely that's a joke?!

Yeah - I always state UK buyers only on most of my items. There's one (an item of furniture) I listed today for "Local pick up only", but I've also said I can drop off the item within a 5 mile radius of where I live, assuming the buyer lives locally, otherwise they can come get it lol. Let's hope I don't get someone in China asking me to drop it off, lol.
