In case anyone was thinking about bidding on this one:
Actually, it's not suspicious, it's pretty cut and dried - this is a classic example of a hijacked account. A pity, I'd love to have that bike.
Note the 'don't use ebay ask seller' comment. This is a sure sign of a hijacked account. Also check the seller's feedback - no history of cycling sales or purchases.
A good way to lose $900...
Had a similar experience, when the price seems to good to be true it probably is. Item location was London so asked him if I could pick it up. He said yes, as long as I paid on the day. asked him for a number since it sounded dodgy. And yes it was he responded that he does not use the phone!!!!! Ebay have since removed his add. No money lost!!!!🙂
Auction is gone....lol
Even the auctions by the sellers are fishy if you ask me.
I found one guy who had several passwords bidding agianst me for his own product.
e-mailed the auction owner, and then one of the bidders. Yep, same I.P. addy.
I don't bid on bikes there.
Turned him in to E-bay, and dumped my account.
one thing that I can say in ebay's favour here is that they do usually act quickly on tip offs about dodgy auctions etc.
do be cautious when looking on ebay and keep in mind these two rules
"if it looks too good to be true, it could be"
"if something feels wrong about the whole, it might be"
and you should be OK.
Cheers
