@eBay scams are pretty easy to spot and often follow a tried and tested methodology.

A short thread on how you can spot them and not be caught out.

First up, if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is.

This scam is huge on @eBay and sadly happens more frequently than you'd think. Here are some telltale signs:

#1 The price is too good, very random in nature, and doesn't reflect market pricing. This is to draw you in

#2 The seller's account may have a lot of feedback, but what I'm seeing is account takeover being used. This is often where someone's details have been breached elsewhere and the scammers take over accounts. Just checking feedback no longer works.

#3 The location is vague. In this case, UK. Well this island is still pretty big, most sellers don't do this

#4 Very few photos, rarely with any identifying marks such as license plate, etc. This is important as they often lift the photos from Google images and other auction sites.
