Buying a vehicle on Ebay

[theaudiobro]

I am considering purchasing a vehicle on Ebay and found that the purchase process is quite different from other items I have purchased on Ebay. It seems that most sellers require a deposit after purchase and the balance due in cash or something similar. I am tring to wrap my head around the process, I am used to point click, pay, and the item is shipped. I just need to know how the sale goes down. I will most likely be buying out of state and may pick up myself or have auto shipped, depends on costs.
