Have you seen the latest H2 being advertised very cheap on eBay, how does this con work ?
If you look into what else the seller has for sale it's loads of sought after cars and bikes at well below market value but I cannot see the point of it, no one is going to 'buy it now' unless they want to get mugged !

Re: Con trick on ebay ?
You are right e bay is a disgrace it is the same people time and time again, I regularly report items to e bay (3 this week) it is not just Kawasaki, T160 are also a regular. They always follow the same pattern usual selling on behalf of some else, location is vague, thousands below the market price feedback is for a pair of tights or something similar. I am told how the scam works is at some point during the transaction they get you to reveal your bank details and or they send a link for example to more photos which then downloads a data capture virus to your computer which then captures info about you from there the world is theirs to scam you.

Re: Con trick on ebay ?
Yes I agree
I have had them closed down many times by reporting them but they pop up again under another user name within minutes.
Ebay should recognise the pattern and block it

Re: Con trick on ebay ?
I came across another scam a few days ago (and even nearly fell for it 
). I've got a boat for sale and I got a message though asking if I would take a car in part exchange. There was an Ebay link to the car. Now I don't want a car but that didn't stop me from being curious so I clicked on the link. Fortunately my phone asked me if I really wanted to follow this link so I hesitated and looked again. It looked exactly like an Ebay link but at a second glance I noticed it was slightly different to a real ebay address...TWATS.
