Just don't come crying to ebay, paypal, this forum, the FTC, or anyone else including the spell-checker police which you seem to have appointed yourself to. Finally, anyone who helps a non-ebay member make a sale to a person who isn't a member from an auction listed on ebay can be suspended. I know that, other members may not know that and they sometimes get bit in the a$$ for that. You arent an ebay member for whatever reason, join ebay then YOU take all the risks. Buddy!
This goes on all the time...ebay never does anything about it. About the only protection you have is to use PayPal if you purchase from ebay. Even that is risky. I bought the Harley online. Wouldn't do that again for sure. It worked out, but I could have burned the guy who listed the Harley for the guy I bought it from. Nothing like described after a 500 mile drive. Photos were old photos, etc, etc. I don't recommend buying cars on ebay...or bikes, or much of anything of value unless you know the business personally....
