Maybe nobody will see it, or I may forget.

That's a massive violation of eBay's policies and may even be illegal. Sure would be a shame if somebody notified the attorney general's office.

What you will get is a phone call from the sales guy at the dealer... " i see you where interested in...blah blah blah, how about this instead, come on down and talk to us we'll see what we can do"

It's a legit scam, to get business. Happened to a friend of mine who bid on a 2005 cherokee.
