Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've seen this guys adverts quite a few times... Always 1 picture and a email address. A real shame as they read like my lottery win garage... Chevette HS, Alfasud, Delta HF Turbo, GT Junior, Tickford Capri, P1800S UR Quattro, Lotus Sunbeam etc etc! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it would help if I kNew how to put a link up on here maybe you could enlighten me and it’s easy to spot a dodgy ad the item number it was under didn't even exist but thought you might know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 glad to help / advise. What are you using to post on here, PC, phone/tablet etc and I'll then advise accordingly. I'd not spotted that the item number wasn't valid. I did see the car very briefly before it was taken down. Even without a link, thanks for helping to protect members of our community from dodgy ads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I assume he doesn’t own any of the cars listed and just steals pics of cars from the web. Not nice for the genuine owners or prospective buyers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he do it? He'll be using some program to mass publish I suspect, given the time as you well spot but all the photo with each vehicle has different e-mail address !

How does he do it? This is how "using a drop-ship software that copies web pages for you to edit & saves in a database with all your other items. One click & before you finish boiling the kettle they are all listed." The facebook Scam group I am in have been reporting this account for more than 24hrs now but ebay is it's usual crap self at not doing anything about it. eBay really is **** these days. Be very very careful buying anything. It helps if you guys all report any of the adverts when you see them. They are really obvious as the 2nd picture shows a link to an email address to contact them on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Listing practices Fraudulent listing activities You suspect that a listing is fraudulent For each of the 3 questions that they give you. Although I do sometimes wonder if you might get a better response using the cheating eBay out of fees by contacting outside eBay one, so have used that also. Trouble is they rarely get back you, just take it down. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelO Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Seems he's been rumbled by a few other enthusiast clubs too - they have been bidding silly amounts on some of his "stock" - £50k + for abond Bug anyone? It would be good if he got stung for hefty sellers fees..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
