thats a scam that they tried to pull on me. I called ebay and told them about the email and they knew exactly who was doing the scamming

It sounds like it's been a real pain in the @ss to sell your bike. Where I live, the 250's sell like crazy. It's next to impossible to find one.

That's funny - NOT! Somehow I would feel violated, I think.

A saw somewhere where someone on e-bay was selling some item and for the photo linked to someone else's image on their server - didn't even bother to copy the image to a location that they controlled. The funny part is, the original image owner found out about it and replace the image with a photo of a hot steamy pile of dog poo. Of course, once the auction is up, I don't think you can change the image link - only add new images so the dog crap image was stuck with the auction ... lol.

I posted the bike in the local paper for a week and got one call, 1, thats it, and he never even came to look at the bike. I asked for $2100 and said I would include the jacket.


As for selling your stuff, the safest way is cash or western union. Even cashiers (or bank checks) aren't safe. The bank will make $ avavilable to your account w/ in 3 days but the check still hasnt cleared yet, that can take up to 10 days.
