Sticky thread to post alerts of items on eBay that you know to be a scam
cousin lives in Stockport, but I don't think that tractor does.

Which one is the real one!
My account was suspended because I put it in messages. 72 paid classified averts at £8.46 each all ended in one fell swoop.Bollox , just relisted an item and you're not allowed phone numbers any longer how's everyone getting round it ?

Splendid.
Yes they've been having a big clampdown since Christmas. If there's any hint you've ended an item early to sell outside eBay then it's a strike. 3 strikes and you're out!
Yes. First one I enquired about a machine someone had for sale. Sent him my number and asked him to ring me about it. He did ring me but I didn't buy it. He ended up selling it to someone else and ended it early. I still got a warning for attempting to deal outside eBay.Did you get warnings or not ?

Don't think there's an issue with putting your no in the listing.
My theory is that any item ended early with bids on it and the eBay robots scan through your messages and any keywords that relate to buy it now etc are flagged up.
Never had an issue when you put the item on at the price you want with a phone no in listing. It just gets ended with no bids
I mainly use Facebook now anyway.Wouldn't let me relist until I removed the number .
