Item no. 121983433229...seems to be quite a few scam listings on ebay, I had one removed a couple of weeks ago. This is a new one or just maybe another bargain for d8veh! to add to his collection of bargain bikes. Be careful out there.

Someone has reversed the digital image as all the decals are the wrong my way around -
I don't think it's a copy

But it smells fishy

The seller has an email which traces back to a web design company in Edinburgh, yet he claims to be a packaging firm in Lancashire .... Free postage ??? Hmmmmmm. Dodgy !!

I have the same thread running fron a few days ago......

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/what-a-bargain.24176/

What the worry is this person has been reported for a fraudulent auction and EBay do nothing about it also the other worry for the people that think this a genuine bargain is I believe they don't have PayPal protection as under there terms and conditions it's not covered.

Good news now is EBay have removed it.:)

You can't say that it's fraudulent. It's being sold as "new other", which might mean that it's new but damaged or non-functional. The only thing fishy is why the guy doesn't write what the catch is in the listing. The only thing you can do is press the BIN button, which will end the listing, then ask the guy when you can collect it.

I mailed him via ebay saying I'd like to buy it, but before I complete would he send me the frame / serial number. Strangely I have had no reply..

Ive just had a reply ,

Hi
Please note that this is an unauthorised listing and I am liaising with eBay to have the matter resolved.
Thanking you for your kind support and cooperation.
Regards
Red Rose Packaging.


So it would seem yes its a scam
But not by the owner of the listing
