Am I being scammed?

Question

I am trying to purchase a camper from a seller on FB marketplace. They aske for my name, address and phone number and said eBay would get in touch with to arrange the payment through eBay. Sounds sketchy as hell to me. Does eBay do anything like this?

This is a common scam, and you are dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money.

eBay has nothing to do with listings on other sites. If the item isn't listed on the eBay website and if you don't purchase it through the eBay listing, the transaction has nothing to do with eBay.

You can report the listing to the site where you found it.
