I reported to Ebay three times (each a different but similar category of fraud).

Must me by five minutes of fame at the cost of some poor slob loosing his money.

this scam was a large problem last year..... pictures were being taken offline and people were posting them on ebay for very cheap... like 04 F7 EFI buy it now for $3500.00 then when you would click buy it now the "seller" would send you a letter saying that the machine had to be shipped from over seas or something like that... he would tell you to send a check to a PO box.... the surprising thing is that some people actually did this.... make sure that if you do see your sled on ebay you write to them ASAP... i know it takes about 24 hours for them to get it off but at least they will end the auction.... you can also send an e-mail to the high bidder and explain the story... good luck

I did send Ebay three notices last night (Nov 15th). I thought about contacting the bidders but looking at the list, it appears that the scam is also to run up the bid price and then hit some unfortunate sledder.

Maybe Wednesday it will be take off.

I also reported it and sent the "seller" a nice little email. If enough people report it maybe ebay will actually do something about it. As PB mentioned, this was a big problem last year too.

It is still up. I sent the seller an email but has not responded. I contacted Ebay directly to the customer service dept. No results. Obvious Ebay is letting this scam go through.

I emailed the bidders earlier today and the high bidder as well. It looks like certain bidders are trying to run up the price before the close of the bid. Ebay gets its commission on the ending price upfront. So it is in their benefit to keep the auction open yet not take responsibility of helping some dirtball screw an unsuspecting bidder.
