Lots of people are running small businesses of all sorts on Ebay.
I'd be concerned if their feedback wasn't good, but otherwise take the car on it's merits.

He has appeared on Ebay also seen that car (rare colour) on there before. I've seen quite a few cars re-appear on Ebay, some within a matter of weeks.

People buying things then selling them on again a short time later happens quite often on ebay. The one negative feedback appears to be from someone who bought a car without looking at it first and as is frequently said on here, always throughly inspect a car before purchase whoever you buy it from. If you have a problem with an ebay seller or advert report it to ebay.

OK found him by searching for the car;

I wouldn't buy a car off him without looking at it first, but then I would never buy a car without seeing it.

It doesn't look too bad, although you can see the inner front wing on the driver side has been somewhat battered upwards - buckling the stiffening gusset. The MOT is almost up too - so INSIST on a new MOT as part of the deal.........
