Anyone else notice the phoney ads on Ebay lately? I have been following Vw van ads. Somebody is using pictures of buses that look like they took of a bus parked on the street. They are using short listing times (3-day) and are not using the 'Reserve' option on what looks like an expensive bus. Ad # 220088267149 and #110099178402 are similar in style. The first ad has already been yanked. The second ad is of a high dollar resto of a 1956 23w but has only 2 pictures in the listing!

Your first auction did not come up.

The second auction is fraudulent.

These are VERY common. I see fraudulent VW Bus ads almost every week on eBay.
