The Kenne Bell is on ebay again

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33741

How many times will this thing be listed ? Whoever sold this "for real" needs to contact Ebay again it looks like the scam is back.

Is it the same seller name, or does he use a different user name with zero feedback every time?

is it a fake auction? if so someone should go in there and just bit 10k and not pay to save someone a whole lot of heartache.

Unless of course the auctions already over and everything i just said doesn't count for crap.

UPDATE:

I sent the seller this question through ebay's contact system:

"If I buy this, can I come pick it up in person and bring you cash? Is it available for inspection before the auction is over?..."

And got this reply:

"Hello,

The supercharger is in UK ,because I moved with my family there.

That why I accept to close this deal via third part company.

Thanks for reply"


That response definitely screams "SCAM"

I just replied back to them with this:

"Great! Where can I come look at it? I am in the UK as well and would love to come inspect it before the auction is over."

We'll see what they say about that.

I have no obligation to inform ebay each time this scam is found. I have notified ebay several times about this scam in the past and it is obvious to me that they don't care much about scams. Stupid ebayers.

reminds me of an event in New York

where a women was beat almost to death by a male. Everyone was looking out thier apartment windows, and watchd the fight, but ironically enough Not one person called the police.

When thepolice investigated, everyone said they didn't see anything.

Gotta love America... "It's not my problem, attitude"

Since you want to be the ebay baby sitter. I hearby dub you protector of the Kenne Bell scam on ebay. If anyone gets ripped off it is because you didn't do your job. If someone does get ripped off because you failed in your quest I think it appropriate that you should compensate them.

I e-mailed the guy that bought it. I asked him if he got scammed. Probably would be too embarrased to tell me. I let you guys know when and if I get a reply.

It really pisses me off that something as simple as Ebay has been turned into a den of thieves.

Gotta have a firewall...don't give your credit card number...is the feedback real...whats your password...we need to varify your account...blah blah blah.

The information age has turned against us, it's the trust no one age now. Especially when the people who "know" -tell you it's not their responsiblity to inform anyone of a possible wrong doing. That attitude is what got us here in the first place.

Where's the giant meteor to end all life when you need one?

That is unreal....the add on Ebay says the item is located in Pennsylvania.


It looks like he isn't getting any suckers anyway.
