Every day, if it looks too cheap almost certainly a scam, do not part with ANY money untill you have seen the vehicle.

Thank you everyone who has chipped in - and so promptly too!
I feel sorry for those poor ‘about to be’ motorhomers who may get ripped off.
Can anything be done - possibly via Trading Standards? - to pressure eBay to refuse ads from obviously unscrupulous scammers?

I'm a member of a Facebook group who search for and report scams on eBay, we try to get the adverts taken down ASAP or get the scammers bank details so the banks can be told what's happening, most scams are huge operations, working out of the UK with bank accounts opened with fake details.

I note none of the items are photographed in the same place ?

The scammers don't take photographs, they copy genuine adverts

 

[Figaro]

I just bid on a couple of his items - and reported them as scams
Hopefully they will take them down, only to re-appear tomorrow no doubt

Oops.... I’m thinking of looking at one....

Yes! That was my point! if all the vehicles were pictured on the same premises it would have more credibility.

People won't look at "other items" the clue to the scam is the ridiculously low price.

One suggestion to spot scams is a 'Reverse Image Search'. The theory is that you can find other web pages that carry the same image that you are looking at. This link tells you how to do it. There are also free web sites that let you upload an image and they will then search the web for it.

Search with an image on Google - Computer - Google Search Help

You can learn more about an image or the objects around you with Google Lens. For example, you can take a photo of a plant and use it to search for info or other similar images. What you find when you
