Ummmm bastard skamming scum bag 

That's mine, and I saw it lurking in its room in the Hall only 15 mins ago 

[Richard]

I have bid, and am winning 

Can a few members ask the seller some questions, maybe someone down that area can go and see it  I expect it will be in storage or something and can not be seen but will be delivered by carrier after payment ..........

[patrick]

I've asked to see it this weekend before bidding!!

[O.C.]

Report the 'seller' to e-bay 

[BigAlan]

I also have asked to see the bike before making a bid, and i also asked how he could attach the second pannier with the exhaust where it is.

we shall see.

[Richard]

Hi

I forgot in my mild excitement to thank Neil for spotting it.

Its a 3 day auction so will end before the weekend, I asked if I can see it Thursday, no response so far 

Will report it to Ebay, from past experience where I reported an item I knew didn't belong to the seller the 10 day auction ran to the end, and 2 weeks after I got a message from Ebay saying they were not sure about the listing and to be careful......

Richard

I've just offered him £15k cash for it. The jokes on him cos I don't have £15k but then he doesn't have the    trike.

You have a deal  , I will buy a Triumph Rocket 3 trike 

[mecki]

And what if the trike shop actually built 2 of those? 

[Richard]

I want to cry

Roxane C.
Welcome to Community Watch Live Chat . My name is Roxane. Please give me a moment to review your previous discussion or if you'd like to, can you let me know what the issue is?

here-in-wales
251302015092
This item is a scam
This trike belongs to me

Roxane C.
It appears that you've made a bid on the item?

here-in-wales
I have

here-in-wales
I intend winning if it is not removed so someone else does not get conned

here-in-wales
It is my trike, I bought it in February this year

here-in-wales
It had been listed on Ebay, I bought it privatly

here-in-wales
The pictures are from the original listing

here-in-wales
?

Roxane C.
Just to confirm, the seller has listed the item using your image or your item was stolen?

here-in-wales
He has used images from the previous ebay listing, Jan / Feb this year

here-in-wales
The trike is not stolen, its in my garage

here-in-wales
I am not selling it

Roxane C.
In order to investigate this matter, I'd require the item number of your listing.

here-in-wales
The previous owner listed it on ebay, and I bid on it but did not reach the reserve

here-in-wales
I have not got a listing?

Roxane C.
We recommend you to inform the original owner of the listings about the potential breach and ask them to write to us. The owner may be able to provide some more evidence to us which will help us to investigate further.

here-in-wales
Why would I contact the last owner?

here-in-wales
I own it

Roxane C.
Are the images taken by you?

here-in-wales
No

here-in-wales
By the previous owner

here-in-wales
He listed it on ebay

Roxane C.
Then you need to contact them to report the item.

here-in-wales
Why?

here-in-wales
They do not own the item now, I do

here-in-wales
The seller has listed my trike

Roxane C.
I understand that however as the images taken by them, they need to report the item.

here-in-wales
That does not make sense

here-in-wales
So you are not going to do anything about the listing, when it is a scam

here-in-wales
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/normo901?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

here-in-wales
This is the original owner, he sold the trike to me

here-in-wales
now another person is running a scam auction, with pictures of my trike

Roxane C.
We can only take action on the listings for Image and Text theft issue when the report is being sent by the owner of the original listing as it is possible that the owner might have given the rights to the other member to use the image/text.

here-in-wales
The images are not the issue, it is my trike

here-in-wales
it is uneque

here-in-wales
there is only one of them and I have it

here-in-wales
The description is of my trike
The mileage shown is the mileage it had on it when I bought it
Its a scam

Roxane C.
I understand that however as the seller has taken the image/text from the original owner, they need to report the item. Or, if you wish I'll escalate the issue.

here-in-wales
yes please escalate the issue

Roxane C.
Sure. Thank you for your cooperation. I appreciate your understanding.

here-in-wales
I don't think you are understanding me, listing 251302015092 is a scam, they are trying to sell MY trike

Roxane C.
I understand that and I'll forward the issue.

Roxane C.
Do you have any other questions I can help you with today?

here-in-wales
no only this one

here-in-wales
are you now forwarding me to someone who can help?

Roxane C.
If you wish, I can forward your issue to them.

here-in-wales
Please

Roxane C.
Has transferred you to:Jasmine Brennan

Jasmine Brennan
Thank you/You're welcome. Please stay online while I connect you to them.

Jasmine Brennan
Sorry.

Jasmine Brennan
Welcome to eBay Live Help, my name is Jasmine. Please give me 2 minutes to review what you have discussed with the previous representative.

here-in-wales
ok

Jasmine Brennan
Hello, Richard.

here-in-wales
hi

Jasmine Brennan
I've reviewed your discussion with our previous representative, and based on my understanding you want to report the item as you are the right owner of this and not the seller, is that right?

here-in-wales
yes

here-in-wales
It is my trike, it is unique, there is only one, its mine and I am not selling it

Jasmine Brennan
I understand where you're coming from and I commend you for doing the right thing in bringing this up to our attention.

Jasmine Brennan
Richard, we're always concerned about policy violations, so I do appreciate your report about this member and I want to assure you that we'll look into this and take appropriate action necessary based on our site rules.

Jasmine Brennan
They can range from issuing the seller an informational alert, a temporary suspension, an indefinite suspension or terminating the member's account.

Jasmine Brennan
Aside from this, you can also click the 'report item' button on the right side of the listing page.

here-in-wales
How about reporting them to the police

here-in-wales
they are clearly trying to carry out fraud

here-in-wales
I have clicked the report item, the last time I did this with another trike which I new was not for sale the 10 day listing still finished

Jasmine Brennan
Yes, you can do that as well, we're happy to help with the investigation if needed - police officers can email us using the "report information to eBay" link on this page:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/safetycentre/law_enforcement.html

here-in-wales
and over 2 weeks later ebay emailed me to say they thought it was suspicious

here-in-wales
you should report it to the police, its on your site

Jasmine Brennan
I can certainly understand how frustrating this experience can be for you. But rest assured that we have strict guidelines for members who don't fulfil their obligations on eBay, or who otherwise break eBay rules to ensure eBay remains a safe and reputable place to buy and sell.

Jasmine Brennan
And I'm afraid we can't contact the police on your behalf to report this, but we will provide the necessary information once they contacted us on the link I mentioned.

Jasmine Brennan
But if you want this to be investigated immediately, as I work in Account Security concerns, I will need to transfer you to the Listings department that can address your concern.

Jasmine Brennan
Will that be fine with you?

here-in-wales
ok ty

Jasmine Brennan
You're welcome. Please stay online while I connect you to them.

here-in-wales
ok

Jasmine Brennan
I apologise for the delay in responding as I am having technical issues right now.

here-in-wales
OK

Jasmine Brennan
Has transferred you to:Yohan Cowle

Yohan Cowle
Welcome to Community Watch Live Chat . My name is Yohan. Please give me a moment to review your previous discussion.

here-in-wales
ok

Yohan Cowle
Thanks for waiting.

Yohan Cowle
I understand you want to report an member for selling your item. Am I correct?

here-in-wales
yes

Yohan Cowle
Ok, I got your point.

Yohan Cowle
In this case, as this is stolen issue, you will need to contact the local police.

here-in-wales
Its not stolen

here-in-wales
Its a scam

here-in-wales
its my trike

here-in-wales
its in my garage safe and sound

here-in-wales
I am not selling it

Yohan Cowle
Just to confirm, are you concerned about your photo or the whole product?

here-in-wales
The listing is selling a 1400 gtr trike, using the pictures and details, exact mileage from my trike when I bought it

here-in-wales
its a scam, they have not got a trike to sell

Yohan Cowle
I understand your point.

here-in-wales
and....

Yohan Cowle
And for the same reason you will need to contact the local police and inform them about the same.

Yohan Cowle
And once they contact us we will take appropriate action on it.

here-in-wales
lol ok

Yohan Cowle
Thank you for contacting eBay UK Live Help. Have a great day!

[Richard]

And what if the trike shop actually built 2 of those? 

Um, with the same risers, offset silencer to miss the wheel chair, and being sold with the identical mileage and the picture of the display taken at the same time!! parked by the same wall.......
I will eat my hat and give any charity you name £100.00 

[Lonewolf]

Richard, firstly let me clarify with you what action you have taken so far.....have you considered reporting it to eBay? 




Absolutely priceless. 

[Richard]

Richard, firstly let me clarify with you what action you have taken so far.....have you considered reporting it to eBay? 

Good idea, I will do that now, I have a spare few hours   

[BigAlan]

I have bid £15000 for it, if someone wants to take it up higher I can go again, lets see if we can get it to say £50,000
