Title: Fraudulent eBay Listing
Post by: MDSimpson on April 25, 2012, 11:40:47 AM
Hi All,

Just a word of warning, there is a fraudulent listing on eBay for a 2008 Jayco Swan Outback. I have reported it to eBay, so hopefully they remove it soon.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180868519505?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1343 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180868519505?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1343)

I emailed this seller asking for info and to arrange an inspection, and below his the reply... So for all those that may be aware, this is a typical eBay scam, trying to get your money.


I am asking $11200 for this 2008 jayco swan outback. This van is in perfect condition. Must tell you that i'm in Europe with business so you can't inspect the van right now but we can use eBay's services; this way you get 5 days to inspect the van before paying me and I am sure that I have a genuine buyer who won't mess me around. Email back and i will send you all the info regarding inspection and payment. Where are you located?

 

Regards,
William

gumtree is usually where the ad is stolen from....
i dont really know anything these advertising sites can do to stop it happening either.

Listing ended at 12:47pm today. Looks like eBay moved quickly and in the right direction for a change.  8)

Not ended by ebay, but the user, probably a hijacked account

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

anyway its gawn, and **hopefully** nobody has been scammed

Yay! I won a Jayco for 12K! Youse guys is all just jealous, hey!

I've already PayPal'd  him the $12K and the other $4k he said it would cost to transport it to me, via Western Onion. Now I just have to wait four months for him to get back from Europe! I'm so excited! Thanks for alerting me to this A+++++ Five star ebay power seller!

I love Myswag and I love eBay!
