eBay and Craigslist finds

I've been scammed on eBay, how will it work out ? Any advice ?

Used bicycle Carbon Road Bike Planet X EC-130e ~ Campagnolo ESP Electric Gears! £620 Buy It Now

"If it looks too good .... " I bought this on Sunday from a zero feedback seller ( I know, facepalm).

Long story short, the seller sent an item through TNT to an address in Hemel Hempstead - no plausable reason, when I live in Reading. The tracking info was given on my purchase and eBay records the item as delivered.

eBay have removed the listing, so clearly they see it as fraud. I can't find any way on their site to complain about the sale.

Thankfully I paid through PayPal and I have raised a complaint there, but that wasn't easy !

As eBay are taking PayPal out of the loop with their "direct payments" facility I dread to think of the trouble I could have been in.

Fingers crossed for a happy ending, and take care out there.

Wow!

X small Tour de Fer for £500 seems reasonable

Ending in a few hours. Bullitt cargo bike with top spec (Rohloff, SON dynamo). £2,500 bid atm.

When all the dino juice gets panic bought you’ll be sitting pretty.

^ Pimping your own ride ?

Decent Roberts at a low start with best offer.
My wife has a similar size/geometry to this and as an infrequent and less confident cyclist has found it a real step up from previous rides.

Can anyone eyeball the size on this haha ?

Looks slightly longer than square. Perhaps 52/53 c-c ST & 53/54 TT?

The tyre looks suspiciously close to the downtube and I'm not sure whether it's just the photo but the headtube and fork don't look arrow straight to my eye

This also looks, to my eye at least, like it's been binned at some point.

And dent on the downtube from the looks of it

Just over £900 in the end.

I couldn't see any dents in the downtube, thought it just looked like it's been in long term storage. The steerer is at an angle in all pictures so hard to say if it's aligned or not. All welds and joins looked free of any malformation or paint chipping/cracking that you would expect to have developed if had been bent or overstressed. Didn't sell so maybe it will pop up again.

definitely a nice bike if all is well with it :)

If at first you don't succeed crank up the price. Relisted BIN 275.

Having another look, there is something going on with the forks. Seller may be able to clarify.

Cheap as chips

If anyone is looking at this rossin, I have seen a retrobike bike thread saying its crash damaged.
