Title: VB 36 Scam eBay
Post by: Wood spinner on October 13, 2016, 03:26:51 PM
Has anyone else seen this appear twice now on the bay

1 day auction no details other than urgent sale , Free delivery and a request for contact via a gmail email address

I have reported it twice , First time it was removed , Not sure if it was the second time , hope the bidders did not get scammed  >:(

Actually I think it's now it's third appearance.

It certainly looks a very dodgy listing and breaks eBay's own listing rules.

This add and may like it have been up dozens of times.

It's happening with all sorts of items, I've reported it more times than I can remember.

we are well into double figures for the ebay scam.

there does appear to be a genuine one on there though.

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. :-\
