There is definitely something wrong here, but I'm pretty much sure you are not the target. Most probably some kid is trying to sell his car using your pics. I would definitely contact ebay to let them know, so they remove the listing and buyers do not get scamed, but other than that I would not worry.

OR, do you have some close friends/relatives who tend to like such kind of jokes?

Jake, just go to the bottom of the page and click on "report this item." The guy has zero feedback, I'm sure they will have no problem cutting off his account

I would tell him you want to end the auction early and youll meet up to check out the car, and youll bring cash. Offer like 2k "Cash" and tell him u can pick it up. Id whoop his ****.

It is like a really really evil way that people order pizzas for their neighbors and watch them freak out when they get the reciept!
VERY FUNNY!
