You see the 'report this item' link near the bottom of the page?

No point bitching about him on here. Fraudulent listings should be reported as such, especially when he's a motor dealer and is clearly chancing his luck.

Why is the listing fraudulent? Asking more than the current going rate isn't fraudulent, merely optimistic.

Even with the 2001 thing. It Charlies DVLA list one of the dates is 2001.. so he made a mistake?!

Asking for more than it's worth is fine, definitely. But saying it's a 2001 vehicle when it's a 1995 is not fine. And it's not an honest mistake, the guy's a car dealer!

ps - vaguely related, you know Northern Ireland doesn't share the registration plate system, so the letters don't mean much to most folk over here?

Dealer or not, general etiquette would suggest e-mailing the person first to highlight their error rather than just reporting them straight off the bat.
