Thank you,

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Got the same reply this morning too!

Confirmed scam.
First step of the process is the ad, second, get in touch via email (outside ebay).
They're getting better though. User is registered for a couple of months and has some feedback.

I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

You pay by paypal or western union or some 3rd party payment service that offers zero protection.

They say they will ship the item to you.

It doesnt turn up and you get nothing for your money. Unable to claim it back.

Well this is the latest on the saga,think I buy this one

Hi and sorry for the late reply. Currently I am in Rennes, France with my husband for an urgent throat surgery and I left my van in garage in Riddings.

This is the main reason for selling the van, we might need the extra money for surgery and recovery.

I will let it go for £5100 (delivery included if is needed).

Everything is in perfect working condition (engine, electrics, etc), all documents are in order, full service history. I've attached some extra pictures. Email me if you are still interested.

Thank you

Sofie

And now the very latest




Today at 8:02 PM






Because I'm in France right now I decided to use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program because is safer for everyone. Since this deal will be handled through eBay, you'll send the money to eBay and after they confirm me that they have it, I will purchase a next day plane ticket and you can come and pick up the van from me directly or i will deliver it personally to you.

You will have 5 days testing period while you can decide if you keep it or not. This way you'll be able to inspect the vehicle before I get any money from eBay.

Please let me know if you agree with what i've suggested because I have some offers and I must give them an answer.

In order to start the transaction please confirm your eBay user name so I can start the transaction through eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program.

After I will start the transaction you will receive the invoice with option Buy It Now.




P.S. I appreciate if we can continue our conversation by e-mail because I received too many calls from people who waste my time. After we have a deal we'll talk on phone.




Thank you

Sofie
