Gotta be some warning signs flashing up there surely?!

No phone number, no contact for 3 days - sound reliable.

Surely getting back to a message within 3 days is standard for anyone though, first car being sold or not.

Even if you dont put a number, who puts an advert up knowing full well things will be asked only to not answer them within 3 days.

How much feedback does this ebay account have?

Im quite confident the advert is legitimate, just think the person that made it is a bit stupid. Probably a female.

And after having 135 transactions on Ebay they dont get back to people within 3 days of the message? 135 transactions doesnt sound like some newbie to ebay.

Sounds even more dodgy in that case if you ask me.

FPMSL

I saw quite a few ads for scooters when I was looking for mine in the summer, all of them looked stolen. Then after I had bought mine from Ashford in Kent I went on a forum for scooters to find a thread stuck at the top saying that most of the ads for scooters on Gumtree are stolen scooters and when you turn up with the cash to buy them you get stabbed and the money stolen.
