I work for a neighbor who has alot of land and has 2 large Kubota hydraulic farm tractors. The neighbor both paid close to $18,000 new and these did not come with a backhoe and front loaders. All they came with was a cutting deck and bagger. Like i said she has a lot of property with a lot of trees so she hired me to clear the land. The land had small trees and a lot of brush so i used one of the tractors with the plow on it to knock down the brush and take down some small trees. At the end of the day we where talking and she said that she would like to buy a tractor with a front end loader and backhoe to help with the huge project. We started looking on ebay for used farm tractors. We started finding 2000-2004 tractors with low hours on them for around $3200 with free shipping! My neighbor was like there must be something wrong with the tractors but sure enough nothing was wrong. Description said worked perfectly and showed pictures of the tractor lifting and doing all these different things. The fishy thing about this is that almost all the insanely low priced tractors always said buy it now for (ex $3200 w/ free ship), but did not have a buy it now price? In the description the seller gave some story about how there ebay inbox does not work or that there work blocked ebay and they could only get mail through yahoo. We started researching different tractors and about the same tractor was on ebay for $9000 and you had to pick it up! Other scam sellers was from England and said free shipping! Now even my excited neighbor started to realize that this was a SCAM. How could someone realistically ship a tractor from England and still have the price $3200? The tractor is about a size of a small car!!! Anyways my neighbor still wanted to try, she said it was worth a shot. I showed her the different guides about scams but she still institute that we try. So we did try, thank god i was still on the clock because i knew it was a SCAM. I helped make an Ebay account with her because I am not going to get into this. So we made her a Ebay account and found the "perfect tractor". It was a 2002 Kubota Tractor L35 TLB with 618 hours on it 35 hp engine 4 wheel drive with free shipping for $3250. Now others on ebay where close to $9000 and still had days left on them with no free shipping. So we emailed the seller since the description stated "Do not bid on this item, I have a special buy it now price, because i am at work i cannot go on ebay so please email me at ********@*****.com " We made a new email account and right when we emailed the seller we figured it would take awhile to respond, but sure enough about 5 min latter we got a response. Saying yes the tractor is still for sale please give me your shipping info and send Western Union money order to some PO box. This is where we stopped. No way are we going to send a money order to a person without going through Ebay and Paypal. After that we started getting tons of spam and junk mail to the new email account. The Moral of this story is not to waste countless time and effort to get tons of spam emails. The seller must of sold the email address and if we gave home address would probably sell that also.
The day after i looked for the same tractor again to report the seller, but it was off ebay. Hopefully no one fell into that trap and no one will after reading this Guide.
We as an ebay community must be committed to stop these Scams and report these listing with out of the world deals. I have found other listing which is too good to be true, mostly high end items like motocycles, boats, jetski, etc
So please use common sense, if a item on ebay is way out of the range and is asking for your email to buy the item then report it! Even if they have huge feedbacks, it could still be a scam.

I would like to thank you for reading my Guide and i hope it was helpful and fellow ebayers will not waste time on scam listings.

Please check out my other Guide on how scammers can steal you account and it has happened to me!

I have been getting countless messages from Ebay members of how they almost fell into this trap and thank me for writing this guide. Also Ebay members who wish they have read this guide before getting Scammed.

One member even told me that when he went to Western Union to send the money the Western Union worker told him it was a scam and not to send money.
