i wrote to an add for a harley davidson yesterday and today i've got this answer here:

Hi there,
Before we move forward I would like you to know that I posted the ad on eBay as a "classified ad" and it was transferred on gumtree due to they're new eBay-gumtree partnership and now instead of being listed on eBay it's listed on gumtree. Because of this I can only close a deal through the eBay system and with eBay members only. Sorry.

PS: I'm a very experienced seller on eBay... You can check my eBay ID so you can see my feedback... I'm ultrathong on eBay. Here is a link where you can see my feedback:

*********URL ********* <==== 95 positive feedback (100%)


why the heck would someone put something to ebay and "transfer" it to gumtree??? i have never heard of a new ebay-gumtree partnership?? did someone ?? maybe he wants me to feel comfortable when i see some positive feetback? who tell me that this is really HIM ? (on ebay)
this all sound a bit dodgy

any ideas?

just the usual con


con is short for confidence if they can persuade you that they are legit they are 90% of the way there, and if they give a great price you are already sold down the river

HI retod

Thats how it works

It would amaze you how many people switch off their common sense when presented with a bargain


i had a guy on ebay who had picked up a flyer for a vacation villa in florida andwas passing it off as his own on ebay, he had sold 6 weeks for £250 a time. and i contacted the people involved and told them it was a con.

gave them the details and the name of the owner and out of the 6 2 took it ok, 4 blamed me for bursting their bubble. one actually said

i dont care im getting a holiday for 1/2 what i paid last year

err no you are going to turn up at a door to find it locked
one of them was a policeman too.

(full story on request, its a cracker)
