As a (very) newbie I hope this info is of interest to this forum's members and not inappropriate. On a Jag forum there is an excellent discussion on car scams on eBay. The original poster bid $1 million on two cars to foil the scammer. He has some tips as to how to spot eBay car scams. Since I assume some forum members buy and sell MG's on eBay (or may in the future) this might be of interest.
