If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
I would avoid it like the plague.

Definitely a scam . This lister is often on ebay, you can tell him by the sub-title he puts on, always has hyphens between all the words. If you click on it you will notice the website address in your address bar changes.

Scam. Sorry. You can only bid once you've emailed the seller with your email address.

There's no such thing in life as a free Rapido. :)

I've reported this same scam seller at least a dozen times in the last year, so if ebay investigate as they say they do, how come he keeps coming back. All they do is remove the listing and he puts it on again.

Same here, I suspect that Ebay do not have any controls in place to flag this type of scam
.
Once it's pointed out to then the listing is removed , as you say until the next time

I wonder just how many of these scams are running as we only spot the motorhome related ones
