    I see people do this all the time on eBay locally. Car listed with genuine reason for sale blah blah blah... then a week later they have another, then another for sale. While all the time listed as a private seller. :rolleyes:

    All those sales are tracked on ebay, so the taxman can easily get to these people. Its only a matter of time.

    I can, if there was a dispute with the customer and the seller, we live in the land of Big Brother these days.

    yes but that is why there are lots of new ebayers selling cars and only a mobile number for contact, i know a few dealers that get a new payg sim for each car they sell

    If I see people selling cars this way on eBay pretending to be a "genuine" private sale, I stay well away.
