discobob Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Currently selling a high value item, and I receive a message saying that somebody has problems trying to buy and it is saying to inform the seller to pass the link on - at first glance the link looks to be valid (especially on a mobile device) and it is going to https://ebay.co.uk-sellerhub-help This actually resolves to a device on Amazon AWS and will be a way of them harvesting your username/password to give them carte blanche on your account and will lock you out of it. I will post up what came next from them (from my phone) eBay have been informed Mods - could you please move to Off Topic Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a lot of hard work to get hold of one - a bit OTT for what it was bought for, but before the lad got it for Christmas he announced he was packing in his eSports - he did online racing - hence it isn't required anymore A real shame as he was DHL Fastest Lap at Silverstone in 2019 and a number of other things - he has the natural skill but not the dedication - and as he hasn't done the effort and has now found himself floundering without a team and/or sponsorship and the next level up costs money 😞 14 hours ago, London Best said: I don’t have a clue what any of you are talking about!

sandspider Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Surely calling you "white boy" is a racist hate crime?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sell it now for about £200 more than I paid! Market is nuts at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that about the £200 😉 it is being collected tomorrow evening It looks like the next thing to sell is his sim racing rig - I went to Jersey about 3 months ago and picked up new (2nd hand) gear for him - the lad's a fool 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
