Ebay scam?
« on: August 05, 2023, 04:56:20 PM »
Just a warning to other members I think this listing on Ebay is a scam judging by the guys inability to answer my questions and his indecision of the model year.

If someone can't be bothered to answer questions properly then I would be reticent to deal with them, so scam  or not this listing isn't putting any effort into responding to you. Is that the sort of person you would be comfortable dealing with?

Oh I have zero intention of pursuing it after the responses he gave, just wanted to warn anyone else.

May not be a scam, go and have a look. I have bought lots of bikes from people who don't even know what they have  ;)

I'd go and have a look if he'd have given some sensible answers but Edinburgh is a long way from Herefordshire and little confidence in the seller.
