It's a scam. I presume (and hope) Tim knew that!

 

[Timmyboybunter]

Sorry yes, just being daft. I consider it my duty to bid every time it's listed just to stop anyone getting scammed.

What happens now. Will eBay not chase you to pay the b*stard. I reported this on Monday.

 

[Timmyboybunter]

No, the listing usually gets pulled before the auction ends, this one didn't (but now has). I also report them - this car actually had 3 individual auctions all running concurrently a few days ago.

Tim’s a ninja in the murky world of the z4 market, the seller didn’t stand a chance

Have you tried emailing the address on the advert? I wanted to but don't know enough to fight to consequences, and my email address is my work one so am a little hesitant

Don’t do it, nothing to be gained... hassle almost guaranteed. I wouldn’t want to put myself in a scammers sights on purpose

Not bad at all, but you do realise that it’s missing two critical components that you usually insist on, cylinders 5 & 6

You "six potters" are sooo superior. I'm gonna ask Greta Sulberg (probably got the spelling wrong) what she thinks!

But eBay do nothing; someone's got to. If only it was like the old days when you could arrange for a sales executive to come around. I've spent many a happy hour wasting double glazing salesmen's time in my living room.
I think I've converted a few Jehovah's Witnesses too over the years. It used to be good sport; now it's all online which sort of ruins the fun.

When I look at eBay today the first four or five e89 ads are all scammers, not good at, why they never get removed I will never understand :thumbsdown:

Just create a hotmail account

 

[Papa_Zee]

eBay wants their listing fees.
Check seller’s other items, loads more on there.

Thought of that, but initial contact is via eBay account, which has my address on it. I just quite like the idea of being a "vigilante". Disruption is the name of the game here, the police use it all the time apparently with prolific criminals.

I put the email address into google, loads of other stuff (mostly ebay but other stuff aswell) came up. Also very similar email addresses came up with the same scams.

There's no listing fees on auctions anymore
