Avant on ebay yesterday was a scam!

I bid and won what looked like a genuine ebay sale:

 

Avant Loader 635 trailer | eBay

 

The subsequent emails and invoices from 'ebay' rang alarm bells, and contacted ebay to see if it was real. The sale was real, but the invoice I received wasn't, and then they wanted money to be transferred to an account - well i obviously told them to go and do one.

 

Real shame because I thought I had bought a good-un and not too cheap to think this isn't right.

 

Anyone else on here bid for it?

I saw it and asked for the year and serial number. It was not forthcoming, so I reported to ebay who as usual did nothing. I sold a chipper to a guy with 350 hours on it, who sold it on ebay with only 25. He had clocked it, and I reported this to ebay, who did nothing. They are useless in stopping this kind of scam. I brought my avant on ebay, but it was a genuine seller with good feedback, an adressnand landline phone. I suspect your machine was stolen, probably by the same gang who nicked my crusher
