Ebay AP - be aware of fake items

[Gorr_77]

hi, 

i did already,

but he responded only shipping and the item is in UK warehouse....!!!

I see this one is around again, different wording a couple days back along the lines of "selling on behalf of my company... contact me..." so I guess some bidders as having some fun with them

He's got 2 of these listed at the moment and a nice pair of binos too

Nice one, i just spotted the mount... 

Last time i didn't get anywhere...

I've played stupid, he got me all the way to assuring me about the item, and after fake ebay account request came he gave up...

have you reported to eBay?

Both removed now.

yes, saw it reappear twice in fact under different userID's during yesterday and not the first time I've seen those type of ads, shame there's always someone that'll try feed off the less savvy folk esp during times like these.

Do you guys report this to ebay?

reason I’m asking, is that the adds suddenly disappear from eBay once they are mentioned on the forum. 
 

was wondering if these scammers keep an eye on forums and act accordingly?

I just report them whenever I see them.

Don’t think so, but I think you do not need to be a member to just BROWSE the forums.
