Those characters who auction non-existent items on ebay and ask for
payment by Western Union seem to have moved on to the scuba
marketplace:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7114514201

(and several more by this seller)

Caveat emptor!

Looks like they even forgot to swap out what they were shipping.

To find the nearest agent and hours of operation).
As soon as I have verifyed the transaction, I will ship your bike with
the delivery service selected by you .
For the reason that you will pay some money for the Western Union wire
transfer fee, I will cover shipping and insurance

Not anymore. Item still in the database, so Ebay didn't kill it...
the seller retracted the listing(s).

Which is unusual. I'm guessing someone got their account phished or
compromised, twigged pretty fast, and killed the auctions before ebay
got on the ball.
