Ebay Scam

[Bigshrimpin]

Funny - There was a similar ad on the SFbay Craigslist for a hewes flats boat 2K. I ask for specific details HIN, Trailer, etc. and the response I got was almost exactly the same.

I had a guy contact me with a very credible SECOND CHANCE OFFER from eBay when I dropped out of a bidding recently. When I responded that I was interested I got an email from some guy in Singapore with terrible English, that's why I got suspicious and checked out his email address in eBay. Turns out he had just joined and was not the seller's email or name. BE CAREFUL!

I had similar questions for the guy.
First was about the buy it now price.

His reponse
Hello there!

Buy It Now for $5500!
I will pay for shipping!
I am located in London,U.K.!
The boat is stored at eBay warehouse in Kansas City, MO , the boat will be
shipped from there on my expence .
Terms & Conditions Shipping and handling:
The shipping address must be provided before sending the payment. The
boat will be shipped trough DAS Shipping Company . The boat will only
be sent after receiving the payment. I agreed with eBay to send my boat
to its warehouse since I am not in US .This way, both sides (seller and buyer)
are insured by eBay.
If the boat is different than the way i've described it, 100% refund - transfer
fees and the boat will be shipped back to eBay's warehouse on my expence.
Anyway, I don't think it will be necesary, you'll love this boat from very
first moment you'll see it.

Buy with confidence!

My next question was: I am in St Louis, MO can I pick up the boat and is the title clear.

His response:
Hello again,

I have a clear title to the boat and the "pick up" is not available since I am not in the country.
Mail me back if you are interested to buy it.

Regards,

Brian

I emailed ebay about the listing, asking about the ebay warehouse in Kansas. This is the second time I have seen this on ebay. I think it just hit today and was only going to on ebay for 24 hours.
