Exactly ... feel free to report these types of listings ... click "report item", then click through the appropriate chioces.

If you have time to waste, you can also set up a dummy email address, email the guy that you're interested in the bike, then string him along for a while.

Update: This listing (260827144047) has been removed, or this item is not available, so Ebay does pay attention to reported scams
