    Dont worry, that advert will be taken down soon but another 10 will pop up in in its place.

    Quite funny some of your posts are full of spelling mistakes yet others aren’t. Plus your signature contains a word few could spell without spellcheck (and it’s spelt correctly). Interesting.

    Hi
    Whenever we buy anything off ebay but never bought a car, alway pay via the official route. I think their is a max price Ebay will cover you for on vehicles if you are defrauded but you have to go via their rules to pay/etc.
    If it looks too good to be true then it most likely is.  Having said that, years ago before Webuyanycar/etc we tried to sell our newish cars usually just over a year old privately as p/x rates were not that great and buyers would doubt the mileage and be worried why we were selling so quickly, so i guess you can get deals but read up on ebay and buying a car safety tips.

    Oh no not you. Really sorry - I meant our resident “expert” - Miss Sweetsand. She changed her post because I commented that (the one below that comment of mine had been before it - full of spelling mistakes).
