[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 1200"] I did pass the details onto eBay, but they always take ages to remove a suspicious item. The police probably won't be interested, as no crime has taken place - yet! The point is, if you pay for it via PayPal, then you've got some sort of comback on the item. The problem is, these guys know that, and because of this, they insist on other forms of payment. You've got to think about this. If some 'bloke' phoned you up out of the blue that you've never heard of before, never met and didn't know where he lived. He then told you that he had a bike for sale and that if you sent him £3k in cash, he'd deliver it to your front door. Would you trust him? I know I wouldn't. They also 'hide' behind various e-mail addresses etc, so it'll be incredibly difficult to trace them. Just remember when you buy something on eBay from a seller with little or no rating/feedback - 'buyer beware!' [/QUOTE]
