Default fecking wonkers!!!

Had my ebay account hacked by some low-life piece of shiit
see item number: 4632857029 on ebay!!!
Thats my car, my username, but not my email address on the advert, and definitely not my "buy it now" price too
He/she even changed my email address on ebay so I couldnt see all the fecking questions I was being asked about the car!!!
All sorted now though thank funk

I emailed the guy and said a few things

I had my car listed, thats my advert, but the guy changed my "buy it now" price to £2900 and added all the flashing email me bits and had his email address on the advert for people to contact him and buy it!!!

Question

Can you contact eBay and get them to withdraw the advert/auction ?

If people can still see it they may be daft enough to send payment....

PS... Nice looking pair of Scoob's mate !!!

Hi mate, just a quick query on the wheel nuts - what make are they and how many miles have they done?! I was thinking of putting four bids in and getting a new set, but only if they're the Scott Lowe racing ones...!

Cheers,

p.s. Only joking of course, and glad you intetercepted this scam in time!
