Is the person you sold it to trying to resale it?? If so, they may just be using the same pics. If not, then send the auction to ebay and have them remove it. Explain the situation to them and let them handle it!!!

 

[MN72Busa]

No, the guy who purchased the bike from me, sent me an email telling me someone relisted the bike as a Fraud. The guy I sold it to is not selling the bike. I tried to contact ebay, but they say 24 to 48 hour response, and auction has 19 hours left on it!

 

[GSXRFANN]

Is he using your name? If so, you can file lawsuit if you can fund out who it really is!! Also, click on the bid history and email all of the bidders and tell them that it is a scam!!! It may take a while, but it will help you in the end!!!

email all of the bidders just to warn them

 

[Tufbusa]

Send an email through ebay to each individual bidder and tell them the scoop.

then jack up the bid so high it messes up the auction

then jack up the bid so high it messes up the auction

That is a good idea......Create a fake ebay account and bid the heck out of it!!!! That will help fugg them up too!!!!

He has 0 feedback, go tell everyone he is a scammer on there. Anyone with half a brain will look at the feedback for bad reports.

 

[05BUSABLU]

i sent him a message calling him a scammer

 

[GSXRFANN]

If you look at the bid history, all of the bidders except one has 0 feedback!!! That is kind of fishy too!!!

 

[MN72Busa]

I will contact bidders right now. I dont have time to make a scam name & mess up the auction, I have to work in an hour...Heck, I just dont want anyone getting burned on this BOGUS AUCTION! Wish ebay still had the option to ask seller a question and have it posted for the general public to see. Your help on this is appreciated...the original auction number for this item is I sold was " Jul-10-05 07:53 4558801513" - And he took all my original info and pictures and relisted it.

Go here and report it.

I reported it there, and tried to report it through another means. I just contacted the 3 bidders, and notified them of the scam. Very strange 2 of the members have 0 feedback, but 1 guy does have positive feedback.

Completely frustrating.

I hope you're sure this is your bike and its a scam. Basically I had a shitty day today and emailed the guy and said some real nasty stuff to him. Im hoping I don't get kicked off ebay. What the heck, if I do I'll be saving some money

Yah Im SUre, the pictures show my house, and if you look on the brick I blured out my Home Addy...those are my flowers, and my oil stains in the driveway...SO Im Positive..lol

I wish there was a BETTER WAY to contact the people at E-Bay!

 

[GSXRFANN]

Well, you have done what you can. Now, if they continue to bid it is thier fault!!! That is all you can do. Don't worry. Atleast he isn't using your name!!!

I agree with the guy who suggested you jack the bid up. If you bid ten times what it's worth and insist you truly want the bike it will mess with the scammer.
I saw three 600,000 bids on fake Busa last week on Ebay. One of the bidders acounts was f'n sacmmer or something like that. Obviously this guy set up an account just to f with the sacmmers.
