Obviously this is some kind of scam.

but I'm not sure exactly how it is suppose to work. Payam, you were at ebay, what is the story on this type of listing?

I noticed one like this before where the bidder had to "wmail me before bidding"

I noticed on this listing that about 30 bids have been cancelled by the seller demanding that "email me before bidding"

 

easy scam ..

the scammer has an account and mail box setup somewhere overseas, once you email him he will ask you to wire $6000 to his overseas account. people are stupid enough to fall for it. Since transaction wasnt done through ebay, ebay wont do jack **** ..

scammers account +$6000
your account -$6000
end of story

someone reported it and the seller's account got suspended.

 

Are you serious. There are people that are dumb enough to wire $6,000 for a $30,000 item and think its legit?

This listing is full of holes. All the bids cancelled. new member with some wierd privtae feedback listing. Only a member of ebay for three days. Discription of item is minimal given the unique nature of the trcuk.

If people get scammed by this I have little sympathy.

 

you under-estimate the low end of peoples stupidity...

 

I heard of another e-bay scam where the buyer pays and the seller ships then the buyer cancels payment and recieves the goods.

 

thats a deal with paypal, who basically err on the side of the buyer (the ppl who demand their way of payment) - but if you have proof of delivery, one cannot do this (well, at least, if paypal is doing their job..)

 

yeah as long as the seller has a tracking number confirming delivery paypal wont do a refund, also the seller can ship you out a box of rocks and paypal wouldnt do anything because the tracking number confirmed the package was delivered. then one woudl have to file a complaint with USPS.
