Hi, right, i am interested in buying a 02 plate cbr 600 bike from a seller on ebay. He has listed it as a classified add. Its only £1600 which got alarm bells ringing as its worth about 3k, at least. I then emailed him asking the reg so i could get an insurance quote and hpi check and he emailed me back with....
You can buy the bike for the price of 1600 pounds. For this price I will also include free delivery of the bike anywhere in the UK. You will also have access to a refund policy on this transaction. However, before any delivery can be done we have to start the transaction on ebay so we can be both protected. In order to start the transaction on the eBay system I need to receive some details from you:
- your full name and address (for your invoice + delivery purposes)...
As soon as the above details will be provided I'll start the official transaction on eBay and they will notify you about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them ( please go through them exactly ).
Will wait to hear from you. Thank you for your interest...

Thats the thing mav, i asked him for the reg and he just sent me that. I'll email ebay to see if i am covered. Also, hes saying he doesnt accept paypal. Might see if he will accept cash on delivery and then have some mates stood by incase hes a gangster

Nigerian Scam
Dont bother with it, who in england would put 1600 pounds? Its scructured differently to what you would put if you were selling something.
Thats made like a business automated responce.
Dont even bother
