Selling your accordion on eBay?

[Soulsaver]

Be very careful on ebay, look at this one 161106521918 the sellers name etc is clearly on display towards the end, but these adverts crop up frequently
Ebay does very little about them , its a case of buyer beware, you must get to know that the seller can be trusted if you do not inspect the item
Paypal also sometimes retain money and do not say why

Ebay takes them down when they get reported. They are posted under apparently hijacked honest vendors - so their record wont help you and therefore it isnt that easy for ebay to spot either - although I agree it shouldnt be difficult to write algorithms to trap these listings which do have some common themes.
Similar scams appear with regular monotony on Craigs List , and occassionally on Preloved & Gumtree - so its not unique to ebay and unless extremely naive, ebay ones are so easy to spot.. .
