I was actually referring to the proposed 2nd “semi” lockdown from Thursday

Black Sprint - ha ha, £23,000, - w*nkers, it keeps appearing, along with plenty others, why can't ebay prevent it, I wonder how many people have been conned ?
For those who don't know, this seller lists loads of very attractive cars and bikes, with a photo of an email address for contact and a very attractive buy it now price. The catch is that the car is abroad, and it will be delivered to your UK address, - you just have to pay for it first........... if it looks to be to good to be true...
be careful ! John.

A lot of people see the obvious scam and put stupidly high bids on to discourage genuine punters who might think they’re genuinely getting a bargain getting ripped off.

But yeah, how they haven’t been tracked down yet I don’t know as they’ve been doing it for months just from different hacked accounts and with different generic email addresses.

Surprised eBay itself doesn’t have something to spot the email address in the second photo and automatically cancel the listing
