Yes very dodgy mind you an m reg at £600 with no reserve hopefully someone will notice that and its not like you are gonna send the money off you would go and view the car and take the money with you. Not trying to defend him because it sucks big time.

Well, VavaVoom's feedback aside, the pictures in that auction certainly don't match up. One pic shows something clipped on the air vent and the other pic doesn't.

Just used the 'ask a seller a question' link to raise the issue of the pictures... I'll let you know what he comes back with!

will he really visit him or will he just post him a book about how he could visit him but wont although he can cover various ways in which he has heard cost effective visits have been made by others.

sign that ebays is getting iffy when people selling scam "get an ipod" stuff are moaning about other scammers!

Send me your ebook and I'll see if it's a scam. I'm not paying £30 for it, though!!

Why leave it as an aution item mate-do like most do list it as a Buy it Now item for £0.99 and then its obvious............saying that I can't believe people dont fully read the ads/ description before jumping in with bids. Its like this guy here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Been keeping my eye on how many V3 adverts he has listed suggesting the actual phone is for sale. The majority make over £180.00 even though its just for some information. Its all the new ebay users that fall for it.......too quick to jump in thinking they are getting a bargain without reading the second half of the listing

Ebay should take some stance. Blatant misadvertisng needs to be reported and ebooks should be clearly defined within the items listing description and title.

I've decided to write an ebook, it seems like a good business.

How about "How to open a free Hotmail Account!", I'll start the bidding at £10.

Or 'how not to get ripped off on ebay'??

When people buy it simply send an email saying "avoid this type of ad - mug"

Out of interest, why doesn't my question appear on the list of question/answers at the bottom of the auction?!

Seller can choose whether they are featured or not.

I got the same reply when I asked him about the seats being different in the pics.

Thanks - I didn't realise that

Makes you wonder why some questions are featured I'm sure the guy offering the Part-Ex is pleased to bits that his email is now on show for the whole world
