Re: [FWDLK] bogus eBay seller

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reported 3 of the item #'s to ebay sellers fraud along with a note to 
check out his store items. They replied, but said they will pursue it 
but won't report back to me due to the # of this kind of reports they 
get.
I just checked the link to his store and all 9 cars are now gone.

Here is a snip from an email on the Chrysler 300 list-server:
Ebay has a reporting mechanism in place that allows members to report a 
suspected fraudulent auction - Press the Help button at the top of the 
mainpage, go to "Security Center" on the left side of the next page, 
and select "Report Another Problem".? You will have a menu that you 
select "Fraud Concerns for Buyers" in the upper window, and the lower 
window, select "Report a Listing that you think is fraudulent (you 
didn't bid)" and you can enter the auction number and send the message 
to eBay.
 ??
 ? I've done this fraud reporting for several 300 letter car auctions 
that I've browsed - I'm sure I'm not the only one doing it - and the 
auction is usually removed within the day.? This and other lowball "buy 
it now" scams for non-existent vehicles have been very popular with 
late-model Harley-Davidsons for some time.
 ??
 ? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

What blows me away is listing a Packard for $2900 "Buy it Now" and 
getting bids  on it. Most  of the other cars were way under priced and 
yet people are bidding.
 Ya gotta know it's a scam.
Regards, Ray
