I was looking on E-Bay and came across a familiar picture. They are using my picture.
My Quad on E-Bay

Thats weird. The discription doesn't match the picture, thats for sure. Maybe they didn't have a digital camera and 'borrowed' a picture from the internet and it just happend to be yours. They have a lot of positive feedback, so I doubt it is a scam. They give a phone number to call and want cash at time of pick-up. Sounds pretty safe to me.

If you bid on this you really don't know what you are bidding on. My picture shows a showroom quad with nipples still on the tires. Mine shows Ohlins, you might get Arvins. You don't know from there discription. These days you can buy a disposible camera and get them put on a CD.

I have seen scammers with high feedback totals before. If they can hack into someone else's account, they can pretty much change anything. BUT, it says local pick-up only, so I don't think this is the case. Send them a message to seller and ask if that is a picture of the bike before you tell them it's your picture.

thats true. you should message them and ask if that is the quad in the pic...then if they say yes report it to ebay.

I didn't even think of doing that. ****, I sent her a message saying it was my quad and this is the response I got.

Hi, I am SO sorry about this. I am selling the quad for someone else, and he told me that the quad in the photo was exactly like his and to use the picture. I will make him get me a picture of his actual quad.... I just realized that with a bid I can't change the photo because there is a bid. If you want me to, I will cancel the auction...again, sorry, Dawn

So what I see is someone is selling a quad for someone else that has never even seen the quad and using someone elses good feedback to do it.

Not yet. I still need to try the starting fluid, take a pic of the flywheel to see if it is spun and need to stick a probe in the spark plug hole and turn to see if I sheared a key. I will do this all on Sunday. No time in the afternoons with my kids having soccer practice. I hope one of these things help me find out what the problem is. Maybe I will hope it is the injectors so I can have a reason to buy Harley Injectors.
