A big time scam or he's never posted on eBay before.
I am going to shoot him an email.

Typical eBay scam. Scammer gets eBay user's password through phishing emails, then he posts an ad and insists that you email him to his free email account outside the eBay system.
These idiots don't understand that they just advertise that their auction is a scam by pricing the cars way low. I wonder if they ever catch anybody in their "trap."

The 100% is probably not an error, he just got his password stolen, and the theif is the one posting the ad.
HAHAHA read this from the ad:
Terms:
You have to email me directly to: [email protected] prior to any action!
Please don't use the "Ask the seller a question" button, questions asked this way will not be received! - Thats because the actual owner of the ebay account didnt list the scam, the scammer did thats why he wants you to email him not though ebay!
If you use the "buy it now button", without having my approval, I will file a complaint will ebay and the car will be relisted. - HAHA hes going to file a complaint because you actually bought the car???
If you do not agree to these terms I reserve the right to act accordingly. lol

Here's the reply when I emailed the addy posted about the ad:
Hi,
My name is Tammy J. Sikes, I'm an US citizen but currently I work at the office of my company from Canada. This has no negative effect on you because shipment is included in the buy it now price and will cost you nothing more.
I must tell you that I`m selling this beautiful car not because I want to but because I have to.
When I moved in Canada a month ago I didn't knew about the taxes to register an US model car. They are extremely high. So I decided to sell it.
You will not have any problems with registration because the car is an US model never registered in Canada.
So I have for sale a remarkable car. It's as new and very well maintained. The car has a clear title, no liens.
2000 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe ........... $15,900 US
Shipping will be done with DAS insured and will take 5 days to reach your address. I will pay all shipping and delivery costs (they are included in the buy it now price).
I prefer that our deal to be supervised by eBay that is why eBay will assign an agent that will receive the payment until they have confirmation that you will accept the car.
Please send me your eBay ID, so I let eBay know that you are interested and also to add you on my pre-approved bidders list.
You will receive an email from them instructing you about how to send payment. They'll release the funds to me only after you receive and inspect the car.
I think that this is a fair way to make business and I hope that you will agree. I don't touch your money until you receive and inspect the goods.
Hoping that I have kept your attention and your interest is still on, I look forward for any questions that you might have regarding the car.
Yours, Tammy

Someone needs to report this one to ebay and help whoever it is that this person has stolen the password for a bogus account.

Pretty easy to reach the REAL owner of the account. Just use the send a message/ask a question to the seller function. It will go to the REAL owner of the account. Copy and paste the auction in to the message.

I emailed eBay earlier today (as I'm sure other people did). The listing has been removed.

This is the second e-bay Viper scam in as many weeks. I informed e-bay about the last one and it was pulled. They do the same thing with Countachs, Bentleys, etc. Never have seen one on a Neon yet, but I am still looking.

I find all of this offensive. Tammy and I have been involved with one another for several months now. She is a very sensitive girl, and was too embarrassed by all of this to respond herself.
So knock if off guys.
Just because you don't like the way she runs her ebay auctions doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful.

A month or so ago I got a confirmation from e-bay for listing a jag for sale. I wasn't selling a jag so got a hold of e-bay and they removed the listing. I am not savvy to e-bay or scamming but e-bay said it was someone phishing(?) for an account.
