You will have to arrange the payment to a verified agent from eBay ( $ 3.500 ).They will hold the founds until you receive the car and also test it!!! As soon as you'll complete the payment ,the shipping will start using DAS Auto Shippers. It will take no more then 3 days to arrive at your home address.(I'll pay the shipping).I offer 10 days for inspection,during this time,if the vehicle isn't like i described (although this will never happen,because the car is go) these are the last lines: Shipping back to my location will be paid by me,again,I'm telling you this will never happen!!! If this is OK with you please reply with your permission and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction with eBay and move forward with this deal.

  1. Why consummate a transaction which gives you so much umbrage?
  2. Right on eBay's site, it tells you up front: We do not get involved on any transaction. This is a VERY widespread scam. If you send ANY money, it will be lost. Do not answer them, do not give them any info, and above all: DO NOT send any money. I know the price is probably too good to be true, and you want this to be legit, but it's not.
  3. If you feel it is a scam, don't do it. Sounds shady to me. A lot of places ask to send Money orders to odd names or agents that can't be traced to them, and then they steal your money. Don't do it...
  4. You don't have to worry. He or she can't do anything with only your name. Just don't buy the car. Plain and simple. I don't like to encourage dishonesty, but you can make up any excuse you want to. Say you just changed your mind. It is better to lie than to make a several thousand dollar mistake. Protect yourself FIRST. Your feelings of anxiety are probably there for a reason- you already know the answer. Don't make any decisions in life based upon emotions. We make mistakes that way. Just walk away from this car. You will find a better one, I promise you. Good luck, and God bless!
  5. i suggest you forget about this.... you can buy a car from a news paper ad.. and be just as safe.. if i had a car for sale. you look at it .. i will give you a test ride of 10 miles.. and then i will show you the title.. you give me the cash i will sign the title and thats that.. i would not deal with e bay they get all kinds of money with their hidden programs.. and if something should happen you will never get in touch with them again.. tip there are hundreds of cars sitting on the side of the road for sale.. nothing wrong with them people have just overburdended themself with dept.. just take another week look in this sunday paper.. i think you will be pleased with what you find.. ok..
  6. There is no ebay safe pay. Anyone telling you that they will let you test the car for a couple days is totally trying to scam you. THIS IS A SCAM, REPORT IT TO EBAY.
  7. You know this is a scam. Your gut is right This has been going on for a long time. The seller is talking about eBay "Safe Pay" which does not exist - at least as an eBay entity. eBay does not handle money in any transactions - including their own auctions. Check this forum. This scam has been posted in here at least once a day for the last couple months. Keep your money.
  8. Hi, we just went through buying a used car, and there are SO many scams-- shipping a car is a sure sign that it is a scam! This has good info on how to spot a scam- http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.html Be very careful- especially on Ebay and Craigslist. We ended up finding a car being sold by a private party on Autotrader.com. Another good thing to do is sign up for Autocheck or Carfax http://www.autocheck.com/?nf=3&nf=4&siteID=0&WT.mc_id=0 http://www.carfax.com/ We did this, and I checked the VIN (the car's ID, a 17 digit # ). You can sign up for a month or more unlimited reports. Then you look at the car's history, you can see if someone is selling a car that was in a wreck, and saying it is 'perfect' etc. Another big scam on Ebay & Craigslist is you see a car with a perfect Carfax being sold for half of what it's worth- well guess what, the person advertising the car doesn't even own it, they just take a picture of a random nice car in a mall parking lot, copy the VIN. and try to get you to give them a few hundred or thousand dollars to 'ship' it to you. Good luck! trust your gut and ask lots of questions on here- lots of knowledgable car people on here.
  9. Hi See below my communication with same person. She/he very sneeky. Your initial email below said that the car is in Las Vegas. In less than 4 hours you changed your statement that they car is not in Las Vegas. Your inconsistent prompted me to research your credibility.

First of all I want to tell you that I'm not located at home,in Las Vegas,NV where the car is.Because of my job I have to move all the time. The price of the car is $3,500.00. I know it may seem low, but I find it reasonable. I have no use for the car anyway,due to my job. I have a clean title ready to be signed. The car has no electrical or mechanical problems. We can use eBay Safe Pay to complete the transaction. The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. In order to start the official transaction, I need to know your details: -full name and shipping address As soon as I have them, I'll start the official procedure and eBay service will notify you about this.I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you.
