This classified listing, for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, is linked to a Google Wallet vehicle purchase scam. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290933387682
It started it's life as a BUY IT NOW listing, which obviously didn't work, so now it is as above.
The "seller" makes contact and wants the buyer to pay using this BOGUS site: http://google.wallet-ltd.com
I have reported it to Ebay, Google and the domain registrar and they have done nothing about it. The listing ticks all the boxes as far as Ebay are concerned: offers Paypal, has a phone number, etc.
Maybe if lots of people flood the "seller" with questions it might go away?
Anyway I hate people trying to rip me off and I have done my bit. BEWARE OF CLASSIFIED LISTINGS !
Below are the first and second emails I received after making contact:

Thank you for the interest showed in my bike, and sorry for the late reply but I have just moved to England with my job. Don't worry though, the bike is there in Australia, stored with a transport company. It was left to me in my father's will 2 months ago, and to be honest I have no use for a bike and I never owned a bike before and I don't even have a license, but I can assure you it runs as great as it looks, my father took great care of it. The price I am asking is $9,550 and it includes shipping anywhere in Australia. Because of this situation, me being in UK, I have made special arrangements that allow me to sell the bike there without me being present and will allow you to inspect it, so if you are still interested in it please email me back so I can explain to you how can this be done safely for both of us.
Here are some pics of the bike: http://img46.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=32718410.jpg

PS: please get back to me so...

The bike is now at a transport company in Darwin NT, all packed and ready for shipping, it was taken there in storage after I left the country.
