secure payments through ebay for a motorcycle?

Paul · 12-04-08

i found a gsxr1300 selling for 3900 on craigslist i emailed the lady and she said she replied with this ...Hello,First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my bike. I sell at this price($3900) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this bike. Now as a women i don't need. This bike is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty.From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000. The final price that I want for this bike is $3900 Usd including shipping and handling...is it legit i replied i will only pay cash after i see the bike what does she want to do im unfamiliar with thisran out of room so is this a scam or what any help explaining what she is expecting to do or any advice as to what i should do? thank you all

SCAM SCAM SCAMThis has been brought up in here many times before. Ebay does not involve itself in financial transfers. The last time you hear from this person will be the day you send off your money. Kiss it goodbye, take pictures so you have something to remember it by.She will tell you to transfer your money to an ebay account (fake). That ebay will hold your money until you receive your motorcycle. After you notify them you are satisfied they will release the funds to her. She will tell you that she is including shipping in this amazing one of a kind deal because she just wants to be done with the motorcycle.Run far far away. Keep your money.

Most definitely a SCAM. Stay away from this person and send no money.

Several things:1) A Hayabusa for $3900? That alone should tell you that it's "too good to be true". 2) eBay doesn't have "ebay Services". All over their site, they tell you that they are NOT involved in any transaction.3) You'll probably notice the ad will drop after a bit. It'll be reported. Don't touch it.
