    ROTFL spot the obvious FRAUD, if you can't then perhaps you shouldn't be buying stuff on eBay.

    If this link still works in 24hours time all I can say is shame on eBay......

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/2004-KUBOTA-TRACTOR-4-CYL-DIESEL-30HP-W-LOADER-MOWER_W0QQitemZ110361117807

    Item toooo cheap
    Weird terms for bidding
    Illegal HTML - can't be reported or feedback checked directly from listing page
    Pictures look like they have been taken in US but selling item in Ireland - bit heavy for the postman?

    Fair play eBay that listing as it was removed about 20mins after I reported it, so I guess I wasn't the only one that reported it.

    Sorry Guys suppose I should have said but as the URL included the words (OK word and part word) KUBOTA TRACT I thought it would be self evident also I didn't expect eBay to pull it so quick.

    I did save the code (HTML) as I was intersted how the guy managed to prevent some of the eBay links from working and the description was......
    2004 KUBOTA TRACTOR 4 CYL DIESEL 30HP W LOADER & MOWER
    Serial Number: 55456
    Fuel: Diesel
    Model: B7800 HSD
    Engine Cylinders: 4
    Engine HP: 30
    Hours: 38.3
    Transmission Type: Hydrostatic
    Drive: 4WD
    Only 38.3 pampered hours.
    Always stored inside.
    Loader only used (2) times and includes an optional removeable tooth bar.
    Rear PTO never used. 3 speed Hyd transmission, power steering, 4x4 with rear differential lock pedal.
    Factory 3 point hitch.
    Tractor is in all-but-new condition and ready for snow removal, dirt work, or mowing.
    I am moving to a new location and tractor will be to big for my needs.
    Si pas de bouger, je voudrais garder ce tracteur.
    I am very meticulous with all that I own, and this tractor is no exception !

    Price including delivery BIN was about 3k and the item would I guess fetch 20-30k. Pics were real nice but included several American 4x4s and even a pic of the tractor serial number plate.

    Just been checking the html I saved and there was a normal listing with an ActiveX control running which overlaid the page with the scammers altered links. I haven't googled the description but my guess is that it will show up as a genuine sale some time back.
