I hope you have informed the Police,Fluke and Ebay?
My friend had a bike stolen, and later saw it on ebay, the Police were persuaded to make the purchase, and arrest the seller. If this person IS selling stolen goods, they should be arrested.

Ebay do take things seriously now.

Hi just spoke to paypal and they have told me the same thing need to contact seller direct
this is such a joke

You will have to contact the seller first. Paypal and ebay both have a waiting period to give the seller chance to sort it. After this Paypal usually help out.

Still report this to ebay though and as already said, FLuke and the rozzers

Just looked at the auction link posted.

A brand new 1653b for 400 quid, only one lead and all the other bull it lists.

Alarms bells should of been ringing as you were to press the confirm payment button.

Live and learn i suppose.

You could arrange an appointment to view one the give hom a good hiding lol

Just call the fuzz - eBay and Paypal are astonishingly rubbish at this sort of thing, probably to do with the bloody data protection act.
Call the rozzers, it'll be easy money for them, and you never know you may even get some kind of reward from where they were nicked (I wouldn't hold my breath, though)

I have just had a look at his other items, he has what looks like a massive load of brand new kit of all kinds, its all gleaming and unused. His comments, no returns and no refunds say it all, this joker is a real pikey barsteward, its got to be all nicked gear. I hate thieving scum.

Think we should all bombard him with emails
