IS THIS A NEW SCAM ON EBAY?

I would have to say YES! It is a scam!

It's about 99.9% certain that this is a scam.
Exactly what the angle is I don't know.
The entire ad is "lifted". Pictures and text.
Get this. Ebay told me that they do not consider these ad "theft" because they are in the public domain.
They don't want to hear from me on this subject anymore. Someone else needs to complain to them.

Do Ya Think... LOL

Yes, i complained to e abay also and they told me the same

i guess e bay took it down

Yes, it would appear to have been removed. I find e-bay's response curious. Yes, the photos are in public domain so I can understand if they aren't bent out of shape because someone stole some pictures, but they stole some pictures to commit fraud on their site, which I would think they WOULD be concerned about.

But it isn't fraud yet. The seller is only accused of not having the car, etc. Ebay doesn't know a lug nut from an acorn.
If you buy it, and never get it, then it is fraud.
So thier rule is about stealing someone else's pictures and text.
They say they are in the public domain, so they weren't stolen.
It's like a dog chasing his tail.

E-Bay could care less about Morals or Ethic's, it's all about the money to them.

And this would be different from almost all other businesses HOW?
