Default I Had to Laugh...Ultimate eBay Scam!

The Ultimate

What is so funny is the scammers might have gotten away with it if they had set the "Buy it Now" price a bit more reasonably.

A quick Google search shows these types of "pre-approved buyer" scams to be proliferating.

No trust in the world anymore.

I love the part about "I've reached my message limit, so you can't contact me through ebay - send me a message directly." And the fact that he's no longer a registered user.

I like the part about "Free Shipping" and not specifying where the vehicle is located.
