known scammer - just getting the deposits then disappearing

This guy has been doing this for ages on eBay. I have no idea how he keeps getting away with it. The auctions generally do get taken down fairly quickly, but more reappear. I've reported his auctions several times.

If it's the green moke the link has been removed by eBay.

The other 1021 vehicles he claims to be selling are still listed.

 

Bit hard not to know it's a scam when you look closely ....

 

Item location: United Kingdo m, Italy

Please contact my father directly at : ******[email protected]

Is this the 'seller' that lists everything at £3000 starting bid? he had over 2000 listings when I looked the other day

Has been doing it for years, with varying user ID's. I report a handful of them every now and then. I can understand it's hard for ebay to police, but when it's so blatant, and he's obvously having some success with stealing deposits, how has it never been escalated to the police, to the point where he is tracked down and prosecuted? People must be paying deposits to a bank account, or Paypal account so it must be traceable.

Different (hijacked) eBay ID, different (hijacked) Gmail address -but the same Scammer, now showing 1,166 vehicles & he's varied the starting bids so you can't spot them all easily.

Ebay have already moved in and shut that one down.

 

Looks like they're on the case, but the guy is so persistent it's like whack-a-mole.

they will not have done anything. until the guys at EVSA have reported it in force.
