Well I just got a reply from him (via Ebay) so he hasn't given up yet.
The question was, how many hours. I got this reply: "this motor has been in use around 200-250 hours.
Thanks."

Perhaps you and your friends could drop him a line.
Of course, now his email addy is public in its full form then he's gonna get all sorts of offers from other scammers.... tee hee

It's a shame that some poor sod has been caught.
I knew ebay wouldn't do a thing.
However any legal eagles out there? - Surely if we have alerted ebay to the scam and they didn't stop the auction then they owe the chap a duty of care and they will have to repay him?
OR, How about offering the same item on ebay! with a don't get caught by this scammer - people then may find two engines for sale and read the message?
It sickens me that a) this goes on and b) no-one does anything about it.

Tempting as it is, please don't publish anyone's personal details here.
We've already seen how people can get details wrong. In this case the emails just bounced, but it could quite conceivably have resulted in unpleasant emails being received by a completely innocent third party . . .
I'm sure that we can find ways of helping stop this sort of scam without bringing ourselves down to the scammers' level.

I don't think he did catch anybody. "Badgerboy" was the winning bidder in each case and, according to matey from Italy's feedback for Badgerboy, he sent fraudulent cheques!
Both buyer and seller accusing each other so I think the "buyer" was trying to outscam the seller.
Still, well spotted in the first place.

That's not quite how it worked-but unfortunately he DID catch someone-One of Badgerboy's feedback left was for a 2nd chance offer. The scammer sent all bidders one. Have a read of this.

Ebay scam
Don't really care about neg. feedbacks. Turned him in to his bank. They put a hold on his account. Ebay UK has some real problems. I would'nt bid on anything from the UK Ebay and encourage everybody else to do the same

As far as I know all UK phone numbers are 11 digits long & all begin with a Zero,
08715 does not exist as an STD code in the UK.
uk std code search
Obviously the phone number is as genuine as the rest of this person!

Thats not a UK number- I suspect it's just random digits.
Ebay UK is OK as long as you've got a bit of savvy-but I wouldn't bother for high value items otherwise.
There WAS actually a legal precedent set in Australia holding Ebay.au responsible and forced them to give a full refund.(see link below)
Maybe it's time one of the fraud victims did that over here.

Buyer wasn't trying to outscam the seller... Why do people assume that a scammer will tell the truth? I guess they are the ones that will get scammed in the long run.

Ebay scam
I didn't send him any "fake cheques". I told him his bank has a hold on his account and I'm unable to complete payment. Anybody can open up a bank account these days, even wetback Mexicans here can do it. They then send money to their compadres across the border. Banks don't really care and neither does EBay
