To Goat and everyone else that is sick of these ebay scammers... Why dont you creat a fake ebay account and call yourself SCAMBUSTA and when you see these items for sale just hit the buy it now price??? Just thought that this would be kinda funny to do..

The scammers don't use "BIN" in their auctions.
Instead, they include an email address and tell you to contact them with questions. The car is usually listed for a buck or two.

Then did you ever think of this? Creat a bogus account to bust scammers. Bid an ignorant ammount of $300,000 or so on the item. And let the scammer eat the cost of that from Ebay. This isn't rocket science.....

I still say we need to scrap the idea of using an entire section of bandwidth for this "ebay scam" garbage. Why devote a whole new section to link auctions to cars everyone on this site already knew were scams? No one that frequents this website is gonna fall for these things anyhow. I've seen these other sites with a whole section of ebay ranting. If these folks think they are playing dectective and saving the day by showing us every ebay scam, then they become nearly as annoying as the scammers themselves. I agree with Frank, we don't need a link to every "Buy it Now" 5000.00 restored 69 Camaro, Nova, or Chevelle anyone finds on ebay. I don't think anyone on this board is "saved" by these posts, and as I said in an earlier post, the auctions are usually pulled before most site members even click on the link. Personally, I think if someone is dumb enough to think they can buy a Yenko Camaro by sending someone in some foreign country a deposit, and sitting on the dock to wait for their car to arrive, they deserve to lose their money. Someone said there are other sites with these forums on them, I say go post all this stuff on those sites. Let this site be used for the discussion of supercars.

you are forgetting that the Scamers have broke into someone else's account and there for, will not be charged anything they actually have to pay out of thier own pocket.

Actually some poor smuck will have to suffer the cost or spend a day or two trying to convince E-bay that thier accounts were hijacked.
