I'll start by mentioning two things that immediately terrify me.

1) No wheel chocks! And to have your product photo not show them says a lot about the company.

2) The price.

The actual product is $1,500: https://www.autoliftproduction.com/en-us/autolift3000

I'm not *that* bothered by the lack of chocks, but I really don't particularly see the use of these.

This is confusing, it's a $1500 lift that you can buy for under $100 on Yahoo ? What is the catch ?

1) That's not Yahoo.
2) Fraud.

And having the add link to a domain with “yahoo” in it that isn’t actually Yahoo makes people think its Yahoo selling it. Easy and cheap way to have people “trust” the site thinking let’s buy it. It’s also easy to scrape valid sites and create fake adds for a product the seller has no intention of ever fulfilling…

Definitely fraud…
