i'd be not touching it with some else's pole.

Cash only. No postage. Will meet you at a station.
Something smells fishy!0 -
The 'cash only', 'meet at a station' bit + the lack of back story. Also I don't think I could buy anything from someone whose spelling is that of a five-year-old.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Look at his previous feedback. >90% is for bikes. Either a very stupid bike shop or a thief.0

Judging by the feedback, this chap has sold quite a few bikes.....Ribble New Sportive
Specialized Pitch Pro0 -
...and all sales kept private0

Might put the cat amongst the pigeons and ask him a few questions about the bike?
reason for sale? how long has he had it? etc
anything specific you could ask that an owner would reasonably know?twitter @fat_cyclist0 -
Also. Won't use paypal for the bike but has used it to buy music equipment. GTF!0

To be honest if I was regularly selling items over £100 on ebay i'd avoid using paypal due to the charges, could always be a bike shop clearing out p/x bikes although I agree the general lack of details & private feedback is a bit suspect - could always contact him & ask for the frame number, or ask why his listings for previous bikes sold are private?

He has to accept Paypal (Ebay rules) but says he won't - vvv dodgy. I reported himCannondale Supersix / CAAD9 / Boardman 9.0 / Benotto 30000

Maybe say 'I see you've sold lots of bikes, does your shop have a showroom where I could come to test-ride?'0
