    Trawling Ebay as you do on a cold winters night and stumbled across a bike which interested me. Well below its market value so alarm bells ringing straight away, but I was intrigued so looked further. The seller has been a member since 2005 and has over 1000 positive transactions. They also had 170 current items for sale, all well below their true value.
    No location is noted for the item and your only asked to leave your mobile number so no way of contacting them directly.

    Whats going on with this?

    He and the bike will currently be in Spain, but if you put the money into this secure account ( which apparently only releases the cash when you open the shipping container and confirm it's all ok etc etc) also most prob a stollen eBay account
