The robbing tw@t! 
Missed the write off "alarm" but assumed it was to do with the scrapped note hidden by poor spelling.
Needs reporting to ebay IYAM.
And I'm sure the winning bidder will be more than happy to receive a non-paying bidder's strike than to pay up...

I was bored so looked at sellers other items he had sold. Three nothing things but oddly enough the item descriptions were well set out and not a single spelling error that I could find. Odd that his latest sale is sprinkled with spelling errors - almost as though he set out to do this to mask the cat d, business 
5 owners, 38,000 geniune (sic) miles - yeah right........

Seller obviously clued up on the fact 99% of buyers on Ebay DONT bother reading the item description fully - very sneaky - no matter what assurances the seller gave, would you believe him ? would you buy a used car off this man ?

Very sneaky : he lists "It also has crystal fog lights ..... etc" then new sentence and then proceeds to detail what might very easily be thought of as other items that it has, such as the "Light tinted black windows" but includes the cat d in that sentence. Sneaky and it may well have been a misdescribed ebay ad which the buyer can refuse to pay up on without getting any negative feedback.
