This guy has listed his car as a £0.01 Classified Ad. There's no way he's going to sell the car at that price, so this has to be an attempt to avoid eBay listing fees. He's also a newbie (0 feedback), so it could just be a case of lack of experience with eBay.
I suspect that this listing will not be around for long (ie some bugger will report it) , so if you are interested, get in touch with him ASAP - he's posted his phone number in the listing. Newbie - remember?

I think vehicles sales are a flat fee on ebay, so nothing to report!. He just doesn't want to disclose the price as he does ask you to call to discuss the price etc. I would guess the ebay membership is just to sell this very special car.

Fair enough. :)
I think eBay fees are ridiculous anyway. Anyone who gets one over on them is OK by me.
Unfortunately... there are a few squealers out there... I've had perfectly legit listings pulled for STUPID reasons, after being "reported".. :(
