Ebay Scam

[holwellcourtfarm]

One day someone will lose the plot and take things into their own hands. Then ebay might act.

What, and bomb EBay HQ?

Folks

Distance buying is simple, if you buy a tractor , machine or what ever never pay more than a small deposit £100-200 to secure the purchase, then go and collect it , forget the BS "I dont have time" or "Its too far" , if that is the case then dont buy! or you will get fleeced , if the vendor wont accept these terms tell them to foxtrot oscar.
If you buy something too big to haul yourself then provisionally book a haulier local to the item and ask if you can leave it in their yard if you buy.
The only other safe way is to pay by credit (not debit) card but understandably most dealers dont like this as they get charged from around 1-3% to take the payment.

But if you really really want to lose your hard earned cash send it to me , I`ve got a holiday coming up

It's not all bad, bought this yesterday of eBay, advertised Saturday, phoned seller, quick chat, then searched him through Google, made decision, bought, with buy it now, paid £200 deposit, travelled 160 miles, viewed and collected, paid cash, everything legit, invoice, trailer conformity paper trail,
very genuine seller, both parties happy.
Even had a back load out of Lincolnshire.

Yes they will simply just take the ££. I assume that the strike rate for scams must be more than most of us would guess as presumably the scammers are paying for ads. Perhaps where accounts are hacked and borrowed the real account pays?

ebay don't think it necessary to remove this.

You are not the only one to report this either!!!

That fendt was £35,500 in Tewksbury back in 2010

But I wonder how anyone can look at that picture and say "oh Cyprus"

From a neighbours experience, unless you have a court order, do not employ private collection firms. All the debtor has to do, if a ccj is not in place, is to claim the amount is disputed. The collection agency can do no more, and you end up paying them.

Agree absolutely, you need that CCJ and then get a HCEO to enforce it, don't even attempt to use a Court Baliff - chocolate BBQ comes to mind [emoji35] waste of space unless you are dealing with a 85 year old who couldn't pay the TV licence [emoji36]

Edit that. The one it links to now is a different one!

Not really sure why you'd start a thread like this. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people would know from the pictures, description and price that it's a scam. We're you really that naive to think you'd get a case mx in that condition for £5k?? Speechless.

Looks like a bargain.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Rang...190083?hash=item2cbad6a4c3:g:~fkAAOSw2gxYsLMR

Looks and feels like a scam to me. It's branded a Case FM750 but described as a Trimble CFX750. The seller has only 1 feedback. I asked to go and see it and had the reply:

Gps is not in uk
