This is really bad.
What would most people suggest when buying from members of this forum?
I have to be honest, that just gifting large amounts of money would worry me lots, would it be safest to put items on buy it now inside Ebay?

Once we became aware of this unauthorised activity, we took immediate action and we're now restoring the account to its original owner. For privacy reasons, I can't share any further details regarding this member's account. However, please be assured that we're dedicated to keeping eBay a safe and reputable place to buy and sell.

Hes listed like 5 cars now, including another GTI! wtf is going on, if ebay are aware how can he list car after car, feel sorry for people getting ripped of by this dude.

Maybe... the original owner of the account does actually sell car parts... then his account got hacked; theif takes payment from peeps outside eBay with no record of his address / mobile / tel etc.  ONLY his bank account, which will give you a good idea where he is by doing a search for the Sort code on: http://findsortcodes.co.uk/

or, he's just playing eBay and everyone else for fools.... :fighting:
