    Just heard from ebay that they are looking into his use of mobiles to circumvent the system, ie buy outside of ebays control, im sure they will take it seriously because its lost revenue for ebay, so all being well he will banned in no time.

    all the best

    Just ignore the !!!!, he's not worth anyone's time.

    The problem is that people will be fooled/confused by his descriptions .Its people like him that spoil ebay.
    I know there are a lot worse than him but I think its worth reporting him to try and keep ebay safer.

    What are some of you on LOL

    0 previous owners means there has been 1 owner, it doesnt mean it has never been owned!

    If I buy a car from new, I will be the owner, but it will have 0 previous owners won't it?

    He is worth it, esp if he is allegedley stealing items to sell on ebay, and misdescribing cars etc... if he had nothing to hide or wrong then there wouldn't be a thread about him would there?

    I think this is great,..... making the world a safer place! ;) :cool:

    i wouldnt by a car on ebay,. its like walking eyes closed thru the jungle,

    how can you buy something for so much money that you just cant physically see, as your bidding for the car not a viewing,

    the car must be seen to buy, i just think its crazy, ill stick with autotrader,

    Edit > ir ead about a lad that went to paid for his Ebay "won" car, and got robbed at knifepoint, is was for a mercedes, cant find the story now,


    i mean "you" in general not the ori/ poster

    Lets get back to those "AS NEW TYRES"...................

    Peugeot would not fit COLWAY tryes to a car

    They are cheap and nasty tyres, and if they are not of the correct speed rating then your insurance on the car is VOID

    Plus those frount seats have more stains than a public toilet

    And how did it get to Heathrow from Scotland with no previous owners and clock up 90K unless it was run on trade plates?

    His listing has more loles than a second hand dart board
    Living the Dream...............:A

    Every little helps

    But as he owns the car or is selling the car on behalf of somebody then it has 1 previous owner, the seller, as when you buy the car you will be the second owner.:confused: The car is not brand new from manufacturers so it has a previous owner.
