They've been pulled by eBay. That's a shame, I wanted some spare units....

Re: I canīt find the right wordīs - Inspiration Flood

On Ebay US, search for rebreather and you get 13 listings from the same
guy. His account has probably been hijacked. This scammer is obviously
an idiot.

Good Prices.

Item number: 200132968940

Item number: 200132969012
etc,. etc.

The seller is located in the US but all of the items are listed in UK pounds.
Check out his store, Dragon motorsports, you won't see any motorcycles. All kinds of stuff including a backhoe for starting bid of $13.

Re: I canīt find the right wordīs

I complained to Ebay and all ofthe listings have been removed (at least they are getting faster at removing the fraud listings). I placed a toke bid on one of the 13 in order to know when they pulled the items. This is Ebay's response;

"The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:

Item Number - 200132969667

Item Title - Inspiration Rebreather

Our records show that you were a bidder or buyer of one or more of this seller's items. We recently removed this seller's active listings and suspended the seller's trading privileges. Due to privacy concerns we cannot share further details about this seller.

If the seller asks you to complete this transaction outside of eBay, we strongly recommend that you do not proceed with the transaction. Transactions for items listed on eBay but then completed off of the eBay platform are not covered by buyer protection programs offered by eBay and can be highly indicative of fraud. For more information on Offers to Buy or Sell Outside of eBay, copy and past the following Help Page link into your browser: eBay - Page Not Found

If you have already paid for this item but have not received it, you should take all possible steps to receive reimbursement.

1. If an amicable resolution cannot be reached, the buyer can close their Item Not Received dispute and escalate it to a claim. If the transaction was paid for using PayPal and qualifies for PayPal Buyer Protection the claim will be routed to PayPal for review typically within 30 days. (eBay Security Center: FAQ - Item Not Received Process)
2. Stop payment with your bank if you paid by check.
3. Contact the Security Department of your credit card company to file a chargeback if you paid via credit card.
4. If you paid via Western Union or MoneyGram, contact the company directly (Western Union 800-325-6000 or MoneyGram 800-926-9400). eBay does not protect payments made via Western Union or MoneyGram per our Acceptable Payments Policy (Accepted Payments Policy).
5. If you paid with PayPal, eligible transactions will receive coverage up to $200 at no additional cost. However, the majority of transactions may be covered up to $2,000. To file a claim with PayPal, login to your PayPal account and copy and paste the following link into your web browser: Page Not Found - PayPal Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the File a Claim link. PayPal claims must be filed within 45 days of the close of the listing. It may take at least 30 days to complete the investigation and resolve the dispute.

Please do not respond to this email, as your reply will not be received.

Regards,

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)

It sort of spoils the fun that they make so little effort to concoct a convincing scam, though of course it does make it easier to avoid being scammed.

Cheers,
