Due to my location and since view is not an option I have requested personal support and I was approved to use Buyer Protection Program. Here is how the process works:

- you give me your full name and shipping address
- I start the transaction with the eBay,
- they send further payment instructions,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the tractor,
- you receive the tractor,
- they send me the money,

Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the tractor in good order.
Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you

Jane

The ford is still for sale. Immaculate condition, no damages, nothing to worry about. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments. If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £4,800 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go strictly according to eBay Buyer Protection rules and policy.
Thank you

I'm sorry to hear this. Report it to your local police if you haven't already. But I can't hold out any hope of you getting your money back, as there's little or nothing the police can do to catch Internet scammers.

In fact it's the 2nd time in a few weeks the other email is [email protected]
from spain very similar process to the above avoid at all cost!
by major mistake Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:03 pm
[email protected] this is todays email!

yep they are at it again.i got the message out of ebay and no sent email in my embay email box!






Hello Ben and sorry for my late answer,

First I have to let you know that I have earlier ended my ebay auction because some "serious buyers" that wanted to buy my motorhome, but in the end they did not have the money to pay for it... So the motorhome is still for sale.

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. I'm retired, separated from my wife and I own a holiday house in Spain, Barcelona. I was forced to have moved here and the motorhome is also here with me, I took it with me, because we had to many things to carry.

The camper was gently used by me and my ex. wife only and it is in perfect conditions, is still registered in United Kingdom as you can see plate numbers from the photos !

Excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent. I'm the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the motorhome, also the motorhome comes with a full service history.

Pick-up is available also. Shipping from Barcelona can be arranged at a very best value (maximum 700 pounds and half it will be covered by me), so the price for my motorhome is 5,500 + 350(half of the delivery)= 5,850.00 !

I want this transaction to be as smooth as possible so I will only close the sale trough eBay for our own protection.

Anyway if you are really interested in this motorhome and you need more photos or details, please reply because I have a lot of interested customers!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely Syd

This guy is still at it. I knew it was a scam as soon as the e mails started coming in with no telephone number or contact details. I played along for a while as to get the bank details, and promptly phoned the bank being used and got the account closed. I really feel for the people that have been caught by this guy. Its an elaborate scam but when things seem too good to be true they usually are. No such thing as a bargain on e bay any more i am afraid.
Here is a copy of my e mail sent same as all the rest !
Its probably not just one person doing this but a little ring of criminals from abroad, its too sophisticated to be run by one person alone!
