Possible Ebay Scam Alert? (trident T160)

Adie P · Dec 12, 2021

I hope nobody on here is bidding in any of these three auctions :-

The same bike appears to be featured in 3 different auctions all of which were posted within a few minutes of each other if the auction end time is anything to go by.

They're all listed by the same seller and all have

"Free collection in person from Lo l, UK,"

Something very much amiss with all of that. Caveat Emptor, as the saying goes.

There has been a number from that “seller” recently, bizarrely priced at £1212 and £1717 among others. (I haven’t looked at the links so sorry if I’m stating the bleeding obvious).

They've been pulled. Thanks for the insight and forethought in letting us know!

Always avoid higher priced items on eBay. Contrary to what they claim, eBay will almost never back the sale if you get scammed. Ask me how I know. The only exception would be if it's an eBay store representing a seller who has an actual storefront or lot somewhere that you can confirm the street address.

Also- don't deal with anybody that does not have copious positive feedbacks.
