Somethings strange on Ebay

Something seems very strange on a "Stag for sale" on Ebay. Item# 180111462528 either my computer is going bad or something is wrong with this post. It advertises a totally restored Stag and states that he will take $4500.00 USD. Every time I tried to click anywhere on this post, it opened a send box. If I tried to enlarge the pictures, the email send box would open, if I tried to click "save this post" a email send box would open. Very strange when a totally restored Stag has an opening bid of $200.00 and the owner would be willing to take $4500. This only appears to happen on his post. Maybe it's my computer.
 
Scott unfortunately that is usually a scam. they probably state somwhere to contact him via email prior to bidding right?.....ebay will close the listing if they haven't already...hope you didn't have your heart set on it!...
 
I was looking at that car earlier and the same thing happened to me too so it's not your computer. Car looks real nice but I would have to deal in person and not through Ebay on this posting.
 
As soon as they open a send box, think scam. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT send money or contact them. This is one way of learning E-bay indentities, and one way of scamming your money!!!!
DO NOT answer.

Today I bring to you a fully restored stag,
almost showroom condition, might need minor work:

Yes, report it to eBay. There has been a similar listing for a TR3A recently that has been removed several times and re-listed. With that listing if you watched carefully it opened a real eBay page and then less than a second later the fake one opened up - you will see the address line changes to something else.
