Wouldn't touch with a barge pole. This seller has 3275 items for sale, mostly classic cars with starting bids of £3,000.

The seller has several cars for sale, all at the same price and with the same description. Strange.

Yes, Detective Duncan seems to have frightened the "seller" as the suspect items have swiftly disappeared.

he was selling over 2,700 cars, all at £3,000.00 starting point, probably a genuine seller that had their account hacked... glad they have all now been removed

Spot on. This has been a recurring topic of conversation on the forum, although hasn't cropped up for quite a while until now.

Whenever I see these, I report them on sight, and would encourage others to do the same. As a result, these are usually taken down within minutes, as indeed were these. However, I reckon there will be another batch soon, and another...…

A whopping 4,867 items listed within the last few minutes, under yet another hacked seller ID!
