MMmm, it is sounding more odd to me, are they not offering paypal as an option? Pay then get the details, yeah right!
They are not in Nigeria by any chance are they?:eek:
I think Ive found the villa! The web page has a contact for the owner, when you have more details from the ebayer, I would email the owner with the ebay link, then tell ebay, its looking more dodgy by the minute!
...ebay seller only registered on 16th july?!...listing has just lifted all photos and text almost word for word? except prices are much higher, and its fully booked... MMmm again.0 -
I think now is the time to call the website...0

I will be phoning the owner tomorrow if the seller responds. It is not me is it? it is very iffy. Please dont link to the id in case it comes up on a search.0 -

No dont worry I'll not link it, its not my place to do so, and im only assuming ive found the right one anyway!...its just I got curious and set myself a challenge to try and find it! (either that or get the ironing done:o)
Im glad you have seen it for what it is looking like...a scam, thank goodness you were more savvy than some, and hopefully if you do contact the owners and ebay, it will get this scammers plans nipped in the bud before anyone parts with any money!0 -
Still no response to my email asking for account details so that I can very kindly send them £2500!!! I have contacted the owner, but got a voicemail so am awaiting a callback.0
