Sorry pressed send before I even got started! I doubt I would ever make such a high value purchase via eBay and wouldn't give my bank details etc. what intrigues/ concerns me is how you can identify so MANY scams and what eBay are doing about it?

I've identified about 12,300 vehicle scams since April 2013. How do I do it? It takes a huge amount of time, because scams are posted 24 hours a day and it's crucial to get each one taken down as soon as possible. Like any other activity, if you devote a lot of time to it you get very familiar with it. One of the key elements is the refinement of the search criteria; there are typically 275,000 vehicles for sale at any given moment and I certainly don't have time to look at every single one. So I have a number of filtering systems to make life easier - some based on specific vehicles (e.g. a 2009 BMW X5 with a classified price of under £12,000), some based on known 'language' or phrases or even single words; some searches - like the one used for this Swift Sundance - are relatively simple and cover the whole sub-group of campervans and motorhomes but with a price ceiling to make things more efficient.

What's eBay doing about it? Nothing.

I've reported the Tangerine Nightmare (as I call it) several times and I have the data to back this up. This could be useful, who knows.

Here are some examples (I think I have more)
