What's really amazing (and sad) is that ebay allows this crap. We noticed it. They can't?

I agree with you,but Ebay is not a person,it's a Corporation.And that means things fall through the cracks,however frequent that might be.That plus the fact that they don't know Body,& VIN#'s sequencing of particular cars,or what to look for in rebodying,or Rivits,etc.
With all the old Jobs that are being disolved each day in this country,I like to see this sector as a new Job opening up for the future.The knowledgeable people like all of us
who are Learning,Networking,Studying these cars on the web,& spent time in Wrecking yards & driveways & garages.These are the foundation of the people Ebay should hire who can spot Red Flags on their auctions for older high dollar automobiles today.Granted it will take time,but somehow I think the scammers know it's a matter of time,& thus,that is why we are seeing so many Scam auctions lately.
Their days are numbered.....

What scares me is that there just may be some fool that may have put a deposit on one of these scams while the auction was still running. We may not ever find out if they did or not because they might be too embarrased to admidit they fell for something like that.

If the bastards that are running these scams ever score one of these fools then they will continue to run them.


It's sad, but Ebay has no good way to police these guys when you consider the millions of dumbass ad's they receive everyday.

I don't know if it's just one guy (which i dought) or if it's more then one, but the amount of ads and the frequency of them would point to the fact that he has scammed some people and thats why he keeps running them. I don't know if he's paying for these ads, but e-bay must be making money on them or i would think they would'nt even put them on. Whoever (if anybody) checks these ads should be noticing them or they just don't care.
