My phone has been ringing off the hook this morning with people calling to inquire about the Second Chance Offer of my Porsche on Ebay at thousands below my reserve and the bid value when auction expired.

This is a SCAM since I have NOT made such ridiculous offer. This is becoming a real problem with Ebay and I don't what they are going to do to retify this growing problem. As much as I hate to do it but I might resort to relisting my car w/ private listing

 

same thing happend to my car that i put on ebay. But the thing is one of the bidders called me and told me this and is now buying the car for 1k under what i was asking.

 

I to have been contacted by the scammers. I've forwarded as much info to Ebay as possible.

 

I just got a second chance offer on a watch I was bidding on. It looked very legit but if it isn't in your messages on MyEbay it is a fake. I reported it to Ebay. I hope they come up with better safeguards. Ebay is becoming riddled with scammers.

 

yes, it starts getting suspicious when every item i lose to bidding gets a second chance offer 1 day after the auction ends (cause the buyer couldn't pay)

 

*******s are doing this alot lately

 

Yea, almost every auction I dont win, I get a second chance offer. Definitely suspicious and i just report to ebay

 

Becoming ???? eBay is a perti dish for the scum of the world.

 

I've got scam second choice offers from multiple people on bikes I've bid on before. Shady. Make sure you check your messages when logged into your ebay account to see if it's legit, also forward the email to spoof@email.com

 

As a buyer it is somewhat easy to figure out if the 2nd chance offer is a scam. The legit 2nd chance offers include a link to an actual 2nd chance offer auction that you have to bid on. The fake 2nd chance offers tell you to e-mail to complete the sale.

I was scammed over a year ago with a second chance offer. They need to stop second chance offers completely.

 

I've received three fake and two real 2nd chance offers. It's annoying.
