Re: about to get ripped off
Pretty sure I've been fleeced. Something I'm meant to be collecting tomorrow. Deposit paid. Ebay listing has disappeared. Can't reply to messages to sender as eBay says user invalid. Phone number I spoke to him on the other day is going to answerphone and no reply to text messages. What's the bets the address I visit tomorrow is not him.
Feeling pretty sick.

Enough. A good chunk of the GSXR.

Re: about to get ripped off
So, I was the 4th person to try and collect from an address where a guy who knows nothing about any of it lives. He does have info of the "other" buyers too, including a scan of a driving license with the sellers name but the spoof address on it. So he has fake ID made up and a very legit looking history that in hindsight has lots of holes in it. Hindsight is a great thing though.
eBay fraud team are the biggest waste of time. A classified is not counted as being part of eBay apparently so it's nothing to do with them. No help at all. Attempts to trace the guy through his recent purchases and what address they went to? No chance. He's deleted his account so they won't hold details about him now. I've left it with HSBC fraud team. They say allow 15 days and they'll try and negotiate with the recieving bank. The receiving bank are under no obligation to help though apparently unless there is a court order involved. Now to spend another hour or two on hold to Action Fraud / Police.
