Yes it's a scam mate. There's no way that they can't access the Ask Seller a Question as eBay has it's own messaging system. You don't need email to use it. I dunno why people fall for it

Right-hand drive


So please be honnest with me and tell me if you realy are interested.

My wife was recently promoted so we had to move in Copenhagen, Denmark. We brought the car with us, wanting to register it here, but I couldn't because of the right hand drive. The car is bought from UK and is made for UK market. So that is why I preffer to sell it quick now and get rid of it while I still can, because time is running and I can't keep it like that, there is a deadline term when I must pay the import tax, so I can't afford to lose time and I prefer to make some money while I still can.

But that wont be a problem because will be shipped from here with DAS and it will take 7 working days to arrive to your address.

The shipping is free for you.The price of my car is GBP 3,350.00.

From the beginig you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay,I prefer the payment will be done through eBay. I have to let you know that I want the payment prior shipping since I will shipp it in the same day or next day the payment is complete.Also you have nothing to worry about because this deal will be done ONLY VIA SECURE WAY .The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated at eBay, I have a a purchase protection account for GBP 10000 and i assume you know what this means.In case we will close this deal,you are protected by eBay. How you are protected by eBay? Well ,in case you will not receive the car as i described to you, eBay will refund you with 100% from the whole amount which you paid to me. But this won't be the case.One conclusion, you are protected.

Let me know if you want to buy it, so we can close the deal asap with protection for your money. If you decide to go further let me know asap and i will contact eBay and they will handle the financial transaction for me.

Regards !


Gonna email back sayin it cant be with you as it doesnt really belong to you as i know where its really from...You fuckin stupid scammer
