Ebay fraud...

first comedy question sent. "Hi, My Octavia is showing a bit high mileage? How long did you have to reverse for to halve yours?"

Hehehehe nice :-)

That guy is obviously not a professional.

Actually, you could just bid on it, then when the auction ends you can refuse to collect it on the basis of having stumbled across the previous auction. If he kicks up a fuss, just threaten to report him to ebay. Then when he attempts to quietly re-list the item, someone else from here can do the same thing. Could get through quite a lot of listing fees that way...

"Alloys have cost me £1200 it self."

Well that's funny, because it had the same alloys on when you bought it, indeed it had the same scuff marks on the alloys.

I accidently emailed the link of the original sale to the high bidder. Oops ;-)

The final fee on cars is fixed, unlike the %age of final value for other auctions.

Just noticed it has also been posted on uk.rec.cars.misc - and now check out the bid history and the IDs of the bidders who have had bids cancelled... Hehehe.

No comedy questions................contact Ebay with both item numbers, and very likely sellers will be banned! But fuckwits publicising what they have been up to on here, will probably have given them plenty of warning so they can get away with it!

What would that achieve? He would just make a new account, and do it again. If you were really serious about dealign with him, you would contact his local trading standards, customs and excise, and the Met (or his local force if the met don't handle all of london).

From the retro-rides forum where I posted this, but someone had beaten=20 me to it.

"Hi All, Were UK_Antennas, the current highest bidder on this Audi Cheers to all those messaging us via eBay about the obvious mileage=20 problem with this auction

My Brother-in-Law works for Trading Standards in London & they've=20 recently been filming Garages/Dealers who buy high mileage cars & then=20 they have they're Mileages corrected

Best one he's shown me was a 2000 X Plate Nissan Primera Sport (Ex=20 Private Hire Taxi) with 280k in good condition but without service=20 history, sold at auction for =A3400 & ended up on a forecourt with 60k for= =20 =A33500.

He think he knows this trader & I've placed a bid as I based up north,=20 so it wont raise his suspicions"

This sort of thing dont seem like a joking matter to me...............might be wrong though.

Yup. Done it in my usual polite manner. And e-mailed the bidder. And Ebay.

And the punch line is?
