in AU and I had all the services done there. The car was never crushed,
drooped or raced. I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in
the same condition as it was when I bought it -- even better! The thing is
that almost 5 months ago, I made that step - I got married !!! My wife is
from Dublin, Ireland and we decided to move there. My kid was born a week
ago here in Dublin and, as a fresh daddy I can't find the time to ride the
car anymore.
Yes, I took the car here in Ireland. I wanted to register the car here, but
when I found out how much paper work I must do to register it here, only to
ridded once a month or less ... simply I gave up and decided to sell it and
buy a car here (a family wagon is a must now). I even decided to support all
the shipping charges in order to make a smooth deal for this car. I will use
TNT air cargo for shipping, so you will be able to receive it in 4 working
days.
The car is already crated with all the papers inside signed by me and ready
to go at the shipping company. I want you to know that eBay Square Trade
verified all the transaction details and approve me to crate the car. The
car will have an insurance and will be delivered at your door without you
being charged one penny more. Along with the car, I will send you all the
documents that I have for the car. Due the fact that the car's title was
issued in AU you will have no problem in registering the car and you won't
have to pay any custom fees. So, the car are still available for sale and if
you are really interested to buying this baby please let me know if you can
offer AU $9000 I will be very honored to make the deal with you.
The total price for the car will be AU $9000 and if you will pay for the
money transfer fees to my location approx. AU $400 i will pay for the
shipping taxes to your door. So, I have a contract with eBay Square Trade
and if you are really interested on buying the car please REPLY WITH YOUR
FULL NAME AND ADDRESS so i can initiate the transaction at eBay Square Trade
and they will manage all the finacial and shipping details.

John Miller

I recieved a reply from Ebay today regarding this Ford GT.


Hello,

Thank you for writing in. Your concerns are important to me and I
apologise for the delay in responding. My name's Jonathan and I'm happy
to help you.

The recent items listed with these two accounts was the result of
unauthorized account takeovers. We became aware of this activity shortly
after the listings appeared on the site and took immediate action. We
are now in the process of restoring the account to its true owner. At
this time the transactions in question have been removed and should be
considered null and void.

Let me suggest a few ways this could have occurred.

If the user had a relatively simple password or password hint question
it is possible that a third party was able to gain access to the account
by guessing the password.

It is also possible that the user could have unknowingly provided his or
her password to another party. Some eBay members have reported receiving
messages asking for User IDs and passwords. These messages appear to
come from eBay Support, but in fact are not. eBay will never ask for
sensitive information of this nature through email.

Finally, there are a number of computer viruses in circulation that log
and record keystrokes. It's recommended that computer users keep their
virus alert software up-to-date, and check their system often for
problems. A firewall for high-speed Internet users is also highly
recommended.

Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you. I
appreciate you being a valuable member of the eBay community and wish
you all the best in future trading!

Regards,

Jonathan Stewart
eBay Customer Support
