I did via the 'report item' function.
Doubt they'll do a thing about it though as the scam itself isn't obvious until you start asking questions etc.

Any idiot who pays £3900 without actually seeing it are probably lacking in sufficient IQ to actually support life.

Sadly i think i might have burnt my bridge with "Sarah" when i provided my shipping address as the police station in Leicester
But, if she comes back to me i will indeed ask
I reported it through eBay... but... they won't do anything about it, they're quite happy to sell illegal / stolen / fake stuff as they still make money on it.

I recognise the pic. I am sure it's a stolen picture of one of yanthelandymans refurbished land rovers.

I hear a lot of Ebay accounts are hijacked,
But how is this possible, do some people have special programs that find details?

There is this thread you can read about a top scammer "selling" a Land Cruiser Camper.
here
Post 2 starts to give the scam game away.
Every time he advertises it on eBay, we find it, go through all the details, like here, we even get as far as banking accounts, 3 TIMES !!
Eventually Ebay pull the add, as loads of us report it to Ebay.
The police have been informed GOD knows how many times, and we have given details, upon details-----------do you think the police are interested----are they ****-----too much thinking for them.
If you read the thread, you can get a very good idea of how the scam with this Defender will pan out, with bank accounts etc.

I had the same email story with this scammer, and yes, if you are stupid enough to part with £3,900 before seeing an object then more fool you.
It appears to have been removed from ebay - I guess enough people reported it.....

I've no idea how an ebay account can be hijacked, but it happened to me once. Now I change my password every couple of weeks and no problem.

Well the "sellers" of the 90 in Leicester have kindly sent me 3 fake ebay emails now (all forwarded on to the eBay scam email box)
They seem to use a Barclay's bank account so i'll be contacting Barclay's too
