You are missing the fact that it is a scam!

The 'Click Here, I can't access ebay from work' bit rather gives it away!

Needs reporting to ebay.

Fair enough. I actually thought ebay had all sort of tests that caught things like that these days. I was looking thinking it was a crashed car for spares!!!

Dodgy for sure, I can't understand why they are so dumb as to expect people to believe you can buy a car for that price. If they did a genuine looking listing with a price just a little below normal it wouldn't be so obvious (not that I am condoning this of course!!)

Ok but having never bought a car on eBay I thought the deal was to view before buy. Hence how can that be scammed? People don't seriously pay up front before seeing it like other lower value goods on eBay???. I am well out of touch with how it works obviously.

That's normally the way it goes but it wouldn't surprise me if they asked for electronic payment in advance and hope there are people dumb enough to fall for it.

If you want to see how badly wrong these things can go, do a search for member Will Hay's posts.
