Hmmmm........If you look at his other items those tractors are a bit cheep with only a few hrs to go they are worth £3000+ and the photos look like they ar from the US. Who would start items like that at such a low price, I like the bank transfer bit tho think that may well be to good to be true

Thats a 100% scam seller,to have two items the same plus other matching items all to be paid with bank tranfers....I had my ebay account hacked a while ago and to be fair to ebay the had it sorted in less than an hour...

Yup ,thats the problem though,you bid £1.50 and risk having to get it back from your bank,someone outbids you ,the price goes up untill it`s a few hundred and the bank gets screwed and then we ALL pay with increased charges in the end as the bank recoups it`s losses from it`s customers.

payment through anything other than paypal is really unsafe, ive lost many payments through postal orders etc, theres no proof of payment and same with bank transfers, theres nothing to stop them not sending the item, its based on trust. and in this case, i wouldnt bid unless my life depended on it
