I contacted Ebay Fraud dept. again on this and on the GT 500 convertible which was offered for legitimate sale close to a year ago in N.J. I remember the ad. They must save the Pictures and details then wait awhile and steal eBayers names and pass words. They then do the pre approved thind to make you feel secure in the transaction. Conning you to believe they are the ones making sure you are real when in essence they are not. I speculate at last check 10,000 people viewed that GT 500 for a Buy it Now price of $29,000 dollars. out of that I bet 1000 people e-mailed asking to be approved for the sale. out of those 1000 lets say 10 fools sent the $3000 deposit thinking they got the deal of a lifetime. when they realize they got burned, are they going to admit they got screwed? imagine telling your wife, or your friends you sent 3 grand to somebody on the internet for a car that is not there...... chances are they do not report it either as the likelihood of getting their money back is about as good as Saddam Hussein getiing his money back! If it's too good to be true, it most surely is!
