    Some cheeky Herbert is selling my car on e-bay!!

    I was well surprised to see my car on e-bay being sold by somebody in Newcastle......blooming Barcode mischief....

    They're actually using the image of my car from the Autotrader advert from the guy I bought it from....I wouldn't mind but they haven't even blanked out the number plate (even though it's hard to read).

    There's only 3 hours to go until the auction ends...

    What do you reckon I should do?

    Here's the Auction (Mods - this isn't my sale so I'm not pimping!)
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-SEAT-IBIZ...QQcmdZViewItem

    What do you reckon I should do!

    I wish e-bay were that helpful! They normally 'believe everyone is honest, etc' or in other words take the money and no responsibility!

    I think it's OK as it ends in an hour or so and I had a go at her down the phone anyway....

    I spoke to her on the phone, luckily for her I'd had a chance to calm down (and she was in Newcastle!)....
    She was reasonably apologetic and a little flustered and as it was ending in a few hous I just said make sure she doesn't do it again.
    She said that people had nicked her hotos before but I pointed out a car is worth slightly more than her silly beanie babies..
