eBay Scams

Be VERY careful turning up with a known large amount of cash to collect goods. I have heard of scams for cars where doing this results in several beefy chaps relieving you of the cash but no kit being there.
I have had some very good EBay purchases but generally as in life, if it looks too good to be true it probably is.
I once emailed about a very nice (clearly American spec) JD tractor offered for £8k buy it now advertised as being located at "London". Said I live nearby and could I view it? Was told it was actually in Rotterdam but would be delivered to "London Docks" after payment of £2k deposit. I reported them and the listing disappeared.
Any one know. David tractor man 100. Hereford area. Has a tractor I am interested in

As with that chainsaw ,what's the point of listing it? If you pay with Paypal, it can be set up so the seller only get's paid when the buyer gives feedback. None delivery or a problem Paypal would side with the buyer. Adverts from none EU countries stating VAT invoices will be sent! Any suspect item, ask a question, and that usually tells you if it's fake.

Something not right here. He has 40 compact tractors all 99p start with no reserve. No two backgrounds are the same in the photos. Descriptions are almost identical yet fit the tractor. No mention of vat which is odd considering it would be a dealer.

eBay is getting worse by the day. Once of a time it was obvious but now with the cloning of other people's accounts and listings it makes it very difficult I judge. Always best to ask to speak the so called seller by phone or ask specific details about the item....usually no reply. eBay need to be on to it more.
