with a catch. A Cervelo P3C with a current bid of $8.99. You must email the person to find out all of the details. I did. Here's what I got back:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my bike .I have all sizes available 49cm, 52cm, 54cm, 56cm, 58cm, 61cm
In this moment you can buy it only for $1200 . price is included the shipping .
My bike is new and will come with all accessories and lifetime warranty .
You can have this at your door in 48 hours after you confirm the payment because the shipment will be made via Ups 1Day Air or Fedex overnighted from europe.
So that's why we use as a payment method Western Union money transfer, the fastest and
also very secure way of sending money because we will close this deal ONLY under eBay,with their protection. The transaction will go strictly according to eBay's RULES and POLICY and will be supervised by eBay Trust & Safety Department..
If you have any question don't hesitate to contact me .bidding is restricted because I want to carefully chose my buyers. is not necessary to bid .for me is not important who bid or what amount bid,if i receive a good offer i will sell my items. it is a private listing and i can negociate with buyers.the price is not fix.
If you agree with my terms, Let me know asap because the items is ready to be shipped
Kind Regards


I really like the part about the Western Union payment.

The person selling is a Power Seller with 100.0% feedback and has been on since 2005. I'm guessing someone's eBay identity got hacked.

I love that Sharon has upgraded from selling Blue Jeans to Tri Bikes.  She obviously doesn't know the value of her bikes.

So is the Cervelo listed in Ceramics, or under Housewares ?

 

The Felt B2 I wanted to buy last year was in Women's Handbags Surprised

Ken,

Did you contact E-bay so that the person doesn't get too screwed and knows their account has been hijacked?

I guess he found a buyer for the bike b/c the auction is no longer there.

Fess up.  Who bought it?

Well....I wired the money two days ago, but I still haven't seen the bike. And I can't get a tracking # either

Suckers!!  The bike is all mine, I bought 2 actually!  However, he is combining shipment with a cheque for US $3.9 million, but we are awaiting the death of his great uncle and my bank routing #, of course.

when my ebay account was hacked, ebay notified ME within minutes.  Apparently I was selling a few hundred pairs of Armani sunglasses.  If I had not been online at that time (as if THAT ever happens) I may not have even known that it had happened.  They cleaned it up that fast.  Of course I did get all kinds of emails telling me to change my passwords.  They handled it very well.

Alright fess up... how many of you went to your ebay account and made sure noone has hacked into it?   I know i did.  I dont use it that often so i try to check it every few days to make sure no one has hacked into it.   I got hacked once with some guy trying to sell 48 pairs of knockoff Ugg boots.  That was a hassle because some of the auctions were ended with buy it now.

Ok...here is the dumb question.  Other than getting an e-mail from E-Bay, how do you know if your account has been hacked?

Can you "see" the items they are selling on your behalf?

Assuming they haven't changed your password, yes, you can log in and see your auctions.  If you try to log in and your password won't work, you might want to look into it.
