Buyers beware of a 2nd chance scam going around. This happen to me on a motorcycle I had bid on and didn't get. What happend after the auction closed I received a legitimate looking email I thought to be from Ebay stating that the high bidder could not complete the transaction and that I was the next highest bidder and could have the bike for my bid amount.There was an email link to reply to(which I never did) and I am sure money would have been requested. I was lucky and didn't fall prey. The motorcycle for sale in the description the seller had listed his phone number and I called him. He then told me it was a blankity blank scam and he had received calls from others after the end of other sales hoping for another chance at somthing they were outbid on. Just beware of this scam.
