no i dont read the newspapers, but with ebay nothing shocks me anymore, surely they have a contact address of the sellers on ebay, you need one, and a valid credit or debit card to register a account, or i had to anyway.
i have bought 2 cars of ebay and i got them to drive the car to me, that way if it didnt make it (the car) to my house i wouldnt pay for it. typical northern reasoning lol
