EBay question?

BMW M5 ENGINE F10 F12 F13 4.4 V8 TWIN TURBO S63B44B S63TU

So, if I do a buy it now on this engine and arrnage to pick it up in person will I be getting the bargain of the century?

Nothing in the advert saying it is just for a single bolt or similar, nothing about postage only?

Oooops, looks like he made a bit of a typo

chances are he'll back out when someone buys it.....

what about the 12k postage lol


Nickp - 2/6/16 at 07:49 PM

£12K postage!!

There's nothing to say that he has to allow collection

Though he's stupid, ebay sellers fees are now based on the whole sale price - including postage
This used to be an old trick to avoid sellers fees on the item price - no longer as the fee structure has changed

plus seeing this sort of thing just puts people off

Not the best feedback either.

Looking at the sellers name i recon he has been closed down by eBay 13 times already!

Idiot.

He's using eBay as an advertising resource, will agree a deal off eBay, having made contact via eBay, then end the item as no longer available.

No eBay Fees, No eBay protection, and by the look of his feedback, he'll get your money whether you get an engine is questionable.

Purely being a nosy git, but have to ask what you want it for?

Strikes me it would be hard work to move and harder work to install and get it running - there must be easier engines to use.

Also strikes me that I probably wouldn't want to deal with the seller either - items like that need careful viewing prior to a purchase.

This bit:

The engine can be supplied complete with turbos and ancillaries or as a bare engine.

makes me think its not actually for sale at £10...

Then this bit

For further information please message me or send me your contact details

makes me think its all a bit of a con, and hes trying to avoid seller fees...
