Here we go again
I wonder if telescope buyers are viewed as a soft touch?
I took everyone's advice on the previous telescope and also learnt a lot. Since then there has been a number of different telescopes for sale. The seller always goes very quiet when I say I will collect the item and hand over the cash.
I just wish these folks could be caught. This is the very latest advert.
Telescope for sale
Do we think this is another scammer?
Thanks again for all the very helpful advice,
John

I have already reported this post
Hello,
Thank you for writing to eBay's Trust and Safety department about a
seller who is offering to sell an item outside of eBay. This type of
activity is a violation of our policy against Fee Avoidance. We will
investigate your report as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
Fee Avoidance is defined as the circumvention of eBay by any of the
following methods:
- Using member contact information obtained from eBay or using any eBay
feature to offer to sell any listed item outside of eBay
- Cancelling a listing to sell the item to anyone who contacted the
seller through eBay, or became aware of the item through eBay
- Ending a listing early to sell the item at a higher price to the
winning bidder
- Using member contact information obtained from eBay or using any eBay
feature to offer to sell an item outside of eBay to any of your bidders
in a Reserve Not Met listing
- Using member contact information obtained from eBay or using any eBay
feature to sell duplicate or additional merchandise outside of eBay to
under bidders
Once we investigate your report, we may take one of several actions,
including issuing an educational alert, temporarily suspending the
member, or in some cases an indefinite suspension. The type of action
that we take depends on the specific situation surrounding an individual
account. When make our decision, we will take into account factors such
as the existence of a previous warning, the nature of the offence and
the length of time this member has been part of the eBay community.
Repeated violations of policies will often result in the suspension of a
member's account.
