Criminals are using eBay to sell stolen and cloned cars, a BBC investigation has revealed.
The vehicles were being sold in Greater Manchester via at least three accounts after having their details switched with legitimate cars.
Among the victims was a retired police officer who lost £17,000 buying a Mercedes from a seller in Rochdale.
He said he reported the incident to the police, but no action was taken. Police said the decision is being reviewed.
Former police officer Graham Murray lost his money after buying a Mercedes C-class in Rochdale two months ago, leaving him "devastated".
He said he reported the case to police and has questioned why the fraudulent eBay sellers have not yet been caught.
It's safer to buy used Yugos.

It's a well known fact that different races/religions are treated differently by the cops - regardless of the victim's or the public's view of the matter. In the EU and UK, the cops have been directed to go easy on some certain minorities, because treating them just like everyone else will result in racism charges.
If you hate white, or English, or European, or Christian people, just come out and say it. Meanwhile, those people are being systematically exploited by "immigrants". And, it's past time to put a stop to the exploitation.
