Based on your advice, I just did a scan of eBay and found this and reported it.
Didn't realise you had already spotted it.

Argh, argh, argh, argh....I can confirm that the ebay advert is a scam.
The original autotrader ad is mine.
I'd like to publicly thank a nice guy called Connor who phoned me at about 0815 this morning to kindly inform me that my autotrader ad had been cloned onto ebay and that he was happy to complain to ebay that it was a scam.
I have now resubscribed here after a break of 2 years.
Unfortunately I can't access ebay from work, so I'll have to get the ball rolling tonight.
Other than Connor, I have only had one person call me about the van. I have this persons first name and mobile number. You know, when I heard the number of kids screaming in the background as he drawled his first unintelligible voicemail, I thought, "here we go". The 2nd voicemail was almost as bad, but I got the number and called him back. Further alarm bells rang when in reply to my opening "Hello, is that <<name redacted>>" he said, uncommonly aggressively "Who wants to know?".
Having established he called me, he then launched into what I consider an odd pre-amble about the cushion size in the rear lounge. Having established the size he then did what I though his accent had already suggested and asked what my best price was. Funnily enough, it's the price advertised mate. The conversation didn't go on much longer after that.
Apologies if this scam is causing anyone heartache but it is beyond my control.
I'll put an advert on here at a later date.
Argh!
