Loads and loads of chipper scams on eBay be very careful. Especially when they have minimal feed back.

I haven't checked your link yet but flea bay is ruined these days.

Just remember keep all transactions inside of eBay when it comes to exchanging money. Always insist on a cash deal with no deposit until machines been viewed etc.

Looks pretty cheap going by the price in description.Very hard to sus a scam these days,payment on pickup is probly the best!

Unless the seller has had account hacked they have been registered on eBay over 2 years and have 100% feedback so could be genuine sale and hoping it increases massively in bids before it ends

Although reading the item description doesn't inspire confidence

I'm on the fence with this one.

 

He has no feedback for selling anything. He has just been buying. Recent activity is 29th may.

 

Says he will deliver in uk for £150.

 

Only thing holding me is the payment by bank only. No cash on delivery or PayPal.

Bearing in mind that all this user's account has done ins buy clothes, and not sell anything, and also that the wording of the ad seems much more sensible (eg price £6500 etc) and reads like a classified, then I have little doubt that the user's account has been hacked and the ad stolen from somewhere else. You wouldn't specify price £6500 in the body of the ad and then not set a reserve, unless you were stupid or dishonest!

 

I would certainly not bid on this, and it is probably appropriate to report it to eBay.

It was the no cash on delivery or PayPal that made me think again as well although they could have sold something in the past and been paid in dodgy notes making them equally as wary

100% scam.

Email address for contact, not through ebay messaging.

Bank payment only, no cash or paypal.

Fairly cheap courier to encourage people to choose that over collection.

 

aaaannndd..... if you still don't believe me....

thats the daddy alex.

 

not interested in it myself, still in love with my Jensen.

 

just thought i'd flag it up in case anyone on here was thinking of having a bid

 

if you think chippers are bad, try buying a Transit off ebay.

 

got more offers to "deliver anywhere in the UK" for £50 as long as you pay by bank transfer up front ()

 

always a dodgy email address.

 

always payment by bank transfer
