SCAMMER BEWARE

littlebosley — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 02:40:17 GMT

Just reported a scammer selling items. He rips off other peopls ads and sells the item for about 5% of the price. Something that might sell for $2,000 he is selling for $50. Do not buy from the below. Unfortunately many people have already by the looks of it but thankfully Ebay is looking into it.

eBay is looking into a seller in China?

Hard to believe

Given their feedback score of -1 and 33% , people choosing to buy from him know they are being 'taken for a ride'

Not to mention their listing are didgey as all get up

I know you mean well...however naming/shaming is not allowed on the boards.

Anyone foolish enough to think they are going to buy a dirt bike for under 60 bucks deserves to not have the protection of the MBG.

I am thinking it is very likely a seller such as this is going to be operating under way more than 1 ID, if not right now, certainly soon

Sorry, first time on this and didn't know that. Fair enough. Should I delete it?

Don't worry about it. These sort of scams are, unfortunately, not as rare as we would like and you will learn about them if you visit these boards often. Oh, welcome 🙂

They are reported by members here and usually removed as they are found usually but it is impossible to stop them altogether.
