I reported it also. That's why I'm a little surprised to see no action at this point. Looks like we might need help from a few others to make eBay sit up on this one.

The two 'auctions' I listed above remained on Ebay for some time after I reported them to Ebay. What seemed to do the trick was asking the actual Ebayer a question about the listing. They got immediate action as the real Ebayer handle was hijacked without their knowledge. One of the sites was removed within 20 minutes of my contact with the real owner of the listing; not the 'contact me at the following e-mail address . . .' Remember use the "Ask the seller a question" link on Ebay NOT the e-mail address listed in the fradulant listing. Select 'Hide my e-mail address' if you are concerned about your privacy.

Found a new one or two!

Ligitimate site owners take quick action with Ebay.

I love this statement in the ad:
I reserve the right to cancel bids from bidders with zero or less feedback.
Less then zero???

Well, I'll be . . . .this is a Caravel that was on eBay a couple of months ago. It was listed by a dealer in Charlotte, NC and sold for $12,200. Update: Someone just fell for it with "Buy it Now".

GreatPumpkin · 08-03-2006, 07:00 PM

Isn't that one a little small for a horse trailer?

Dang it - I always miss the bargains, someone else used the "Buy It Now" feature.

On a serious note - I hope it was one of us and not some poor sucker that really thinks they're getting a bargain.

ALANSD · 08-03-2006, 07:14 PM

I reported it yesterday to Ebay

A-Merry-Can · 08-03-2006, 07:16 PM

i e-mailed him about it. his buy it now INCLUDED SHIPING! ha! he was of course overseas, and would ship the trailer once the cash went through. he said the cash would be held by a third party until the trailer arrives... can you even SHIP a trailer across the country for $2900 with these gas prices? haha!

it was under the wrong category, too. this scam crap is going to be the end of eBay, i fear.

ALANSD · 08-03-2006, 07:22 PM

naah, it will be publicized and the scammers will have to give up. Like the Nigerian King emails.

1956Safari · 08-07-2006, 05:27 PM

Watch out for this lady. Claims to have a 2003 Safari in CA for sale.

Email address: lisa_m_2323@yahoo.com

She had the XXXX to mention in her email that the previous owner of the trailer was her son who died in Iraq! Its a scam and the email from ebay is fake so be carefull. If you look at the reply address it appears to be to Ebay but when you click return it goes to a safe-invoice@usa.com whoever they are.

Lets be carefull out there!

Hey I am excited i am the high bidder on that one...yeah right, like I might get it....can't wait to get an email from the seller

Boondocker · 08-08-2006, 01:27 PM

If you look for a fast and 100% safe deal, free shipping and the lowest price, you just find it.
DO NOT BID ON IT. I will sell it only at Buy it Now. Your Bid will be canceled.
Just email me at:

sellerxxn@aol.com

and I will give you all instructions.
