fraudulent
When the transporter delivered the car to us, it turned out that this fraudulent seller advertised the car with photos of another car. The pictures on ebay show a car with roof rails, the car provided has no roof rails. The pictures on ebay show a car without many damages that the car provided has (several rusty, damaged panels, rockers, doors). The bonnet cannot be opened, the opening cable is cut. This scammer deceived us with false pictures, told us to pay a deposit, then if we did not want to lose the deposit, they blackmailed us to pay £544 more than advertised.
Despite the ebay description stating that the car "Starts and drives", it cannot not be started at all.
After winning the 357743938213 ebay auction with a £1070 bid the seller told me that it is not possible to pay through ebay, I should bank transfer a £250 deposit. Then the invoice surprisingly contained other items besides the Vehicle Sale Price £1070:
Storage/Admin Fees (if any) £275, and VAT £269. I phoned the seller and argued that this is a Peugeot 308 car, I should not be charged VAT on top of the bid, and there was no indication of any Storage/Admin Fees in the ebay item description, it is unfair to charge this fee on top of the bid, but the seller insisted that I have to pay it, otherwise they do not even let my transporter person to see the car. As I have already transferred the deposit the day before, and the £820 as the remaining amount from the selling price, I felt forced to pay the £544 as well. Then my transporter told me that despite the ebay description stating that the car "Starts and drives", it cannot not be started at all, maybe the battery is dead. I phoned the seller and complained that the car cannot start, but the seller dismissed my complaint, was not willing to charge or change the battery and hang up.
