GSX fraud on EBAY

Someone on Ebay is trying to pose the Eclipse I use to own, as theirs and is trying to sell it on ebay. I sold this car 4 month's ago. They took all there selling text off of my cardomain site (which I deleted today because of it), and even are using my pictures and trying to claim them as their pictures. So guys, if your looking to by a GSX, be careful for scams like this. They're starting bid on the car was 2,999. Thats an obvious fraud because the turbo-intercooler setup ALONE cost more than that.

Holy shit man, Ebay needs contacted immediately about this because people have been bidding on it too. I hope they throw that asshole in jail for this.

Re: GSX fraud on EBAY

I have no idea if that is the correct vin number to my car. But I did provide the Vin when I had it up for sale for people to do a Carfax if they wanted too. But like I said, that was like 4 months ago.

And yeah I told ebay. I used that live help thing that they have. But didn't seem like they cared that much, or like they were gonna do anything about it.

I mean, Ive heard about all the Supra scams that go on. But didn't think they used GSX's too.....

Re: GSX fraud on EBAY

Dude, they do it with all kinds of high performance vehicles, yes even GSXs. I asked him a question, we will see what he says. I asked him if I could buy the car outright....We will see what he says...

BTW the best thing to do if you know for sure its a scam is mess with them. I have been looking for a Typhoon for a while now, and there are always scams like this on ebay. I just bid like a million dollars and ruin their auction. If you have to, just set up another ebay account and bid a million bucks....For real...

Re: GSX fraud on EBAY

And who let you know about the scam...

That's pretty shitty that ebay won't do anything about this. I'm guessing they could be sued or someting. I'd just keep getting on them and messaging the bidders. Then there's always the BBB. Or the cops...
