You just click on bids then click on bidders name. Although anyone bidding with no feedback can be the seller bidding the item up, not always but sometimes.

we could ask him a question or two.

1. has it got any SH

2. are the miles genuine

3. any old mots

if i where you i would be emailing him and telling him the cars a bit dodgy!

on the other hand he might of bought it in good faith and not no about the miles???

Has anyone checked the bidders .... top bidder is a car dealer .... so who cares!

Second bidder has a zero feedback and is listed as being from Bulgaria .... yeah right .... someone trying to bid up their own car here!

Yes but that car dealer will probably be selling it on to one of us unsuspecting souls. Can't somebody report it to the DVLA or whoever it is?

Yes I think it should be reported. I've sold cars which i've seen at a later date being sold with a lot less miles than when I sold them.

If I bought your car from Ebay and it's not exactly a cheap car by any means, I wouldn't be happy if I ever found out the real mileage. Trading standards are useless for this so I wouldn't even bother, but the Police would be interested.

I just PM'd the current highest bidder with the URL with this post, let's hope they're monitoring their ebay account this evening.

Perfect car for a milage scam.

As its only a 51 plate, you would not even question 47k as being unusual.

Did you sell to a trader ?, found they are the worst. Seen a number of clocked cars for sale on forecourts and even a stolen EVO at BOC in bolton.
