has a collection of cars for breaking with no seller feedback,....
should have really done some homework on this scumbag and especially after he wanted to deal outside ebay!!!
hope you can get some money back!!


Yeah think I will just have to take this one on the chin lessons learnt and all that.

I've just looked and it says he has had a feedback of 90. Am I looking at the right thing? What have eBay said?

he claimed he had no room left on ebay to post parts for the r32 so  that he could deal outside of ebay...
yet he has no history of any sales feedback...he only has some buyer feedback plus changing the account id only a week ago doesnt  help..
makes me not want to use ebay but obviously there are alot of great sellers there just need to do some background checks before sending money off!!

Good way to spot a scammer is to see feedback of 90 (for example) but no history in last 12 months (meaning usually they racked up quite a few negatives in last 12 months, left the account dormant for 12 months until they cleared and then start up again.

Contact your bank but they will likely only refer you to police but who knows what they can do about it?.,

Try a twist and see if you can sell him some bits - then you could get him to collect if you make the offer tasty enough - photo for the old bill and a bit documentation could possibly get you a result of some form!

Have you reported them to eBay?

Hopefully they can put a ban onto the account to stop other people being scammed.

Sent him a message, took less than 3 minutes to reply.

Dear motor_madness123,

Hi,

Do you still have the rear bumper and side skirts, if you do what condition are they in. I would need to get them resprayed so just concerned about major damage that all.

He replied,

yes i still have them and they have no damage at all, i can do them for £190 delivered

But does he actually have the parts if he isn't sending them out in the first place?
