i'm planning on bidding on this item but worried about how the seller wants the payment.....he/she could scam me easily...i don't use ebay alot what happens if the seller doesn't send the item besides me getting f-ed

Hes feedback looks pretty good so personally I would not worry about it. I would try e-mailing him and talking to him about the engine. You can usually tell a scammer just by talking to them. Most of the people I have been scammed by are not intelligent and it shows in their typing and basic english skills. Although this is not fool proof its probably your best bet. Go for it.

 

escrow.

ebay even offers it....

 

Doesn't look legit. Wants too little money... who knows.

If it makes you feel uneasy, then don't buy.

 

An ITR swap for $1,600???? Hmmm.

And why is there a picture of a B18c engine stamp and then one of a B18C5 when the engine is JDM?

I dunno on this one.

 

why is his jdm b18c stamped b18c5 too?

edit: ^^^ yeah what that guy says too even

 

I have seen this EXACT item description before. Something's not quite right.

These people really annoy me by using pictures they've gathered off the internet or from other ebay auctions. If nothing else, I'd like him to explain why he's got a b18c5 AND b18c block stamp picture. Also, if it were really made in 2000 it wouldn't have a 4-lug suspension.

One way this guy might be a scammer...

- he places the ad
- uses a secondary account to place a really high bid on the engine (so noone will actually win it)
- he encourages you to email him
- he takes $1600 from droves of people trying to get a "steal"
- they can't leave negative feedback because they didn't win the auction

I'd personally ignore this guy. Too good to be true always is.

is this a good service? i've never heard of it before

 

Block stamp B18C5 is a major red flag when seller is claiming its JDM. Three words for u: Don't Do It. Just my .02

That's assuming the seller will use it. His ad implies that he won't.

 

I think baonest made a post about this a while back, guy selling sounded a little shaky.

 

its no longer for sale now

 

It's a hacked account, happens all the time. Check his prior feedback, not just the rating. He has never sold anything even remotely close to the current listings he has now.

A post like this was made a few weeks back where a guy did the same thing, wanted the overseas bank wire transfer. The auction was ended shortly and the account closed.

 

well i got an email for this chick named crystal aka scam seller ....has anybody else e mailed this seller....how do i report this auction.

 

hey wtf last time i made a ebay link I got penalized Lot of bs goin on in this site
