What I don't understand with all these scamming cossy items on ebay is all the sellers have loads of feedback?? Have they had their account hijacked or something?? There seems to be loads of these about at the moment, all with cars that have recently been for sale so all the details have been available.

The key is that they ALWAYS say "buy it away from ebay" or "contact me away from ebay"

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you
contacted me.
Although I am registered in the UK, but I recently moved in Milano, Italy
(where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here. I made the
auction for UK due to the fact it's UK version (right handed), meet all the
UK standards, and its better to ship it where it belongs, that means UK,
because here in Italy is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle, so i
am trying to sell it as low as i can to complete the sale fast (my loss will
be your gain). It still has UK registration, cos I didn't paid for Italy
import taxes so it will be very easy for you to register the BMW in your
country. You will have to pay just the taxes associated with registering it
in UK. The car meets United Kindom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be
no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.
The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously
maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine
doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired
or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised
.The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, it is free of encumbrances and
liens. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the item
in UK, and also a bill of sale in your name and signed by me.
If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the
return of the item in original
condition (return postage at my expense). It will be insured during
transportation and will be delivered at your front door in maximum one week.
Final price is £4,200.00 (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
I will have ebay to contact you with the transaction details in order to buy
under their PURCHASE PROTECTION & REFUND PLAN.
I will wait your email
Respectfully,
Andrew

what gets me is they allways, allways underprice the cars, soo much it sticks out like a sore thumb, TWATS, the escort cos for example price it around 12/13k and there more likely to pull off the scam
