Not if it's referred to  as a dodgy ad  

 

How can we be wary of it without any details. There's plenty on there: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=westfiled&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xwestfield.TRS0&_nkw=westfield&_sacat=0

Not very well described is it. What's dodgy about it? he's got a lot of cars for sale and 100% ebay feedback.

20 mins ago he had 1700 vehicles for sale , now all gone

 

[Steve (sdh2903)]

Hope hes on good commission at that sales rate.

It's somebody hacking accounts and listing lots of car on that account very cheap hoping to trick people into parting with cash thinking they are getting a cheap deal 

 

It happened to my account about 6 months ago

A bit of info for those that aren't aware of it. There is a Facebook ScamBusting group which targets these eBay adverts which is why when it was initially posted on here it probably got taken down so quickly. I'm in the group and have reported any of the Westfield ads and others that I spot. 

 

The way that it works is that one member spots a dodgy Ad, they are pretty easy to see after a while. Same photo's keep doing the rounds, stupid low price, contact outside of eBay etc etc. They report to eBay but also report the Facebook group who also report to eBay. The more people that bombard eBay with reports on a Bad Ad the quicker it gets taken down and the account that has been hacked can be returned to it's original owner, assuming that is the case. 

Hope that is informative.
