A best way to pay for a vehicle transaction would be to bring cash when one goes to inspect the vehicle. If you can’t inspect it yourself, hire someone local to the vehicle to inspect it before full payment is sent.
No one ships vehicles for free. the car market it hot right now, and not for buyers.
There is no reason a legitimate transaction would need to be shipped anywhere. There are local buyers willing to pay above market value in some cities. Why would they sell you a $5600 car for $1200? and throw in free shipping (both ways if the buyer changes their mind)?
Shipping one way would eat a majority of that $1200.
Look for something locally that you can meet the seller, test drive the vehicle, look under the hood, check the fenders.
It’s the internet, trust no one. Don’t give your email or phone number to anyone who asks. Not just on eBay, but every day. Use the eBay messaging system to communicate with your trading partner.
eBay doesn’t have invoice numbers, but there is a 12 digit eBay item number.
No one asked, but I am looking forward to the day when having feedback default sorted by relevance seems right.
