Bad images, 0% feedback and it’s in Stornoway which makes collection a little tricky

Yet people are bidding on it?
do they just hope it’s genuine and that they may get a bargain, and if it isn’t eBay and PayPal will protect them and so there’s no real risk?

Sellers have to start somewhere, but ISWYM cash on collection would be my preffered option.

Got a nice Lapierre for sale too… with photos taken in a completely different place..

Here’s a quick trick/ tip.
Grab the image of suspicious item and use it as a Google image search. If it throws up the exact same image in a forum/gallery/flikr gallery somewhere else entirely then there’s a good chance its a scam

Oh yeah – dead clever that google image search thing!

There we go – that’s why the pics are small

Jeezo! Never been a big buyer from ebay and that kinda reinforces why! Good work folks.

Have reported it to eBay as fraudulant, but they don’t even give you a text box to explain why these days, so they will probably just ignore my report.

Interpoltrackworld at its finest.

How do you do that greeble?

OPs link no longer works so suspect DezB’s report has worked

How do you do that greeble?

Do what? A Google image search based on an image?
Like so

Yes, that. Thanks, that will probably come in handy at some point.

I also emailed the seller. Told him he was a fraud and should take down the auction or suffer the consequences! 😆
