The pic is of an Aussie car, and he says he'll ship to the UK and Oz but he's in Rotherham......?!

The pre-approved bidder list doesn't bode well either.

i suspect high price : low positive ratings is an easy ratio to pull out of their user database...

i also reckon they have a team of "mystery shoppers" with non ebay email addresses that they use to follow up tip offs (e.g. western union scam)

I report quite a lot to ebay safe harbour or whatever they are called, myself.

I wish everyone on ebay would do the same too - keep the site free from the scum and make it not worth their while trying



And yeah, why called safe harbour?

i've reported a few things too... i also like winding them up by email by asking tons of stupid questions and wasting their time before the auction gets pulled
