sellers avoiding feed back by using classified ads

[029sheilabilla]

many sellers  of motor vehicles and motor cycles are using classified ads and not the auction system or buy it now  that way they are avoiding  negative feedback  and i know from experence a lot of the stuff espeicially motor cycles  are  junk   so  do not by fron these sellers unless you can inspect the item yourself BEWARE

hi  The point i am trying to make is  these sellers are using the ebay platform  to sell items  as classified ads  knowing full well  there is no come back for the buyer  on ebay    i know a lot of people who have bought  vehicles mostly motor cycles from USA  from ebay based on item descriptions by sellers  and on feedback profiles   i have myself bought items from overseas  but the only time i have been  stung  is by classified ads     which i think should not be allowed on ebay    dont give me a sermon on buying site unseen  sometimes you have to be proactive and  take a chance    i could name  a few  crooked sellers of vehicles in Australia that advertise on ebay under the classified ad  heading

Unless it is rare or collectible, buying a car sight unseen is, at best, foolish.

And I very much doubt a scammer would care about feedback. Nor most sellers, for that matter. Most sell for money, not pretty green dots on a screen.
