Anybody noticed these two 500s on ebay?

Mods feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place.

Anyway, I was looking at ebay and I noticed this and this.

So what you may say, but read the description... although the cars claim to be in different areas from different sellers, the description is practically identical... a coincidence? Or is this guy not quite the "motoring enthusiast" he claims he is?

Another very good reason to never post pictures of your car with plates visible on the net. Perhaps these are both legit auctions but it looks a bit fishy

Both Reg numbers check out as genuine Fiat 500's at least

anyone reported this to ebay? This guy is clearly dishonest (as well as none too bright - if you were looking to buy a 500 off ebay you might look at more than one!)

Well it's two different sellers. It's entirely possible that the other seller just copied the other person's listing. I don't think you should report it unless it's very obvious that it's a fraudulent listing.

Re: Anybody noticed these two 500s on ebay?

copying the listing is still misleading as you are telling people about your reason for sale etc "just an enthusiast with too many cars".
Suppose it could be cock-up rather than conspiracy though.
