Its now been removed, might be an idea to talk to Fuelwood to see if they are aware of any being stolen. I am sure that the Police could trace it through E bay and an e mail address if needed. Sounds like a fraud to me as well.

i doubt it woulda been stolen the machine doesnt exsist... they want you to pay through paypal and they will arrange delivery... they say your covered through ebay and paypal if its a scam and that may be true.... i've had exactly the same thing on there with 2 diff tractors and seen several timberwolf chippers on there with same description.... they always say to reply to there messages to a diff email address and not through ebay..

Has anyone seen this one

 

Japa 300 Firewood processor Oct 2008 | eBay

 

Im always unsure when someone has 0 feedback

 

I asked seller if I won the auction, could I pay cash on collection, they replied they want £4000 for it, includes transport and to contact through hotmail address. I said they misunderstood my question, I did not ask for a buy it now, IF I won the auction could I pay COC as I could collect myself, they have not replied, so pretty suspect I think.

I had the same with a chainsaw... Advertised as barely used, on delivery was clearly well-used. Seller got nasty as soon as I complained.

 

Ebay were excellent, though. They promptly arranged return shipping at his cost and refunded everything to me. Lesson learned was stick to the proper eBay channels if you want to use their marketplace - never be lured into off-eBay transactions.

I had the same, I asked if he could deliver some of the distance so I could pick up and get back to Yorkshire in a day. His reply was that he wanted £3300 for it and eBay would be sending me an invoice in a few hours.

 

I smell a rat with that one.
