Well, it's been pulled by ebay so they obviously agreed it was a scam!

I have been defrauded 3 times in my first year with ebay and are now more aware of scam auctions and if i suspect a auction to be a scam i report to ebay,i reported this about 9 hours ago and it as been pulled by ebay,at last ebay seem to be taking these matters more seriousely and acting.0 -

So glad you reported it. There's always a few fairly easy to spot scams in the vouchers section, but I don't know how to report them despite having looked in the help section.
Can you explain how to report them please?
Wishful thinking I know, but perhaps if enough of us are reporting them quickly enough they'll move on.0 -
Go to safety centre at bottom of ebay page,select problems with other members from drop down box,then select possible fraud but i did not bid0
