I will keep my Bike.The problem was a angry wife.I convince her otherwise base on the two scams i already received.I love the bike. And now i can afford to have my dream toys.

How can i delete my listing? Do you know how?

Yeah, dont know why the wives dont like our small innocent toys!

To delete, just login and then go to the 'Sell Used' section and you can see you listings. Just delete from there.

Would be interested to hear more about how you figured out about the scam, as it would be helpful to others to know the tricks used.

Thanks for the tip i will do it.

Regarding the scam .After i recevied an SMS and email confirming the deposit of the bike value.I receveid another mail,asking for 500 USD to be send via Western Union to a so called "Agent",unless my money will be frozzen. Wwe trade like 20 emails during the process

To be honest from the start i noticed something wrong,but i was searching,so i kept the business going just to see how far the guy would go.

The name the guy used was Michael Evans and the email was mclevnas32@hotmail.co.uk

I foward many messages to paypal and they confim the scam.Some people fall on the trap,because maybe they need the cash and so.

We need to be vigilant and share the process to a friend or so.

The first emaili received was this one here:
