The same “Jeep” seems to be listed here as well.

Seems a lot of lower value consumables such as batteries are for sale with a pic of the real thing and the delivered item is from a bulk pack and of poor quality. they rely on you not bothering to return as postage is costly.

Ebay do d1ck all these days. I bought something not long ago, the sellers page showed a genuine example, i got a cheap copy item. I rang Ebay who said it’s the buyers responsibility to check. I advised the call handler that here in the UK we have the misrepresentation of goods act, which in India they may not. They said they would “look into it” and did nothing. It was only an item that cost a few quid but poor selling practices are supposed to be dealt with.

I have reported these listers on more than one occasion, if you make contact with the sellers they take you to a fake page eventually which allows a paypal payment which infact goes to a Barclays account in eastern europe.
Paypal replied, Ebay do not bother.

If any of you want to message the people and tell them you have cash waiting.
The reply will be>>>>>> selling for a dead brother, the item is in scotland and can be delivered free of charge, if your not happy Ebay will pay the money back if you return it within 14 days.

IF IT SEEMS CHEAP and to good to be true, it aint for real

Have you reported it to ebay?

One of the biggest rip offs Stuart was in the states, he had quite a few accounts and bought and sold between each of them building up his portfolio before dropping a big value item, as he had lots of false feedback it suckered someone, he then closed that account and started another trading with all his fake accounts and so it went on, he was eventually caught.

Quite a busy chap by the look of things; items for sale (90) !

An awful lot of scams at the moment, and something that ebay seem reluctant or powerless to deal with; rule of thumb check their feedback (if any) if they sell quite a lot of baby clothes and their ebay username is “Chloe” (or similar) then the 150 bhp tractor they are selling, or war time jeep or classic car probably isn’t theirs…….
