My neighbours wanted to buy this van but the listing looked well dodgy as soon as we saw it. We checked it out on behalf of next-door and guess what - the seller would be very happy for me to pay him via MoneyGram only and sent me some pretty crap fake invoices from ebay lol.  Unfortunately the seller is away at the 'mo so there's no way I could arrange to see the van but he's very happy to tow it all the way from Truro to Cardiff for me for no charge, just as soon as the payment has cleared.  Needless to say my neighbours are now looking for another van......

action against these low lifes

if you see 1 just go to the bottom of the listing and

hit the report this item button only takes a few mins

He's registered as a business seller.

E-bay should have better checks in place for 'business' seller status and then that may help reduce the scams.

Really funny the standard bit that e-bay itself includes about not using money transfer services.

I recently bought a caravan from a reputable dealer and while it was being serviced, prepped etc before collection,  I saw it on sale from a private seller, same pics,text, fonts etc. the ad was pulled from ebay as quickly as it had appeared! Does this happen a lot?

Im not sure if it happens alot by i have certainly seen it happen a few times, take this one for instance there was def no van but there was certainly someones advert.  This time was lucky as someone nearly fell foul and bought it, its best to do research on the caravans and see what they are really worth before being blinded by a bargain the van in questions here was worth in the region of £10,000 or above.

the worst thing that happend to me on ebay was that i replied to a seller through my msn a few days later i went to go into my ebay, it wouldn't let me in. I got intouch with ebay and they gave me new pass word............... and there on my selling list was me sellin huge extravators ( don't think i have spelt it right) but it was the really big ground drilling stuff! no way on this earth would i even know what one of those things was for. It was on a buy it now one day listing ( there had been a few one day listings so goodness knows if any was sold!)

Any way got intouch with ebay they took them off, and gave me loads of do's and don'ts

So beware........... you never know what you might be selling lol

If anybody pays for a caravan they haven seen they must be soft in the head--the only sensible way to buy a caravan off ebay is to pay cash & tow it away from the sellers home adress--
