I bought my bike on e-bay. And e-bay do warn you of scammers who tries to redirect you away from e-bay onto the scammers web site even though the page looks like e-bay. Check to make sure you are still on e-bay site and paypal site cause some of them make the scam page look almost like e-bay's or paypal's page.
I've seen several scams on e-bay for bikes. One redirected me to a porn site (shaking my head) I showed how it happened to my partner to make sure I wasn't seeing things and within two three minutes, e-bay had shut it down. Pretty quick or I just caught the tail end of things. Either way, e-bay really does spend lots of time ferretting out the scammers. So I don't mind the extra they charge me when I list something. My partner is a power seller so she has seen lot more scams. She reports every single one. She never gets a reply from e-bay but the scam disappears quickly. Nice to know still gotta be careful.

never heard of ISOLDIT myself. But yes, scams abound. People offering you more for your item then you want, that's another one...
