Buying a trailer
I’m in the process of buying a trailer. I haven’t purchased it quite yet but the option the seller has selected is to purchase multiple eBay cards and paying in that way. Is this something that is common in purchasing items on eBay?
I just wanna make sure I’m not being scammed.

Mentor2 years agoThis is a common scam, and you are dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money.
You aren't referring to an eBay listing right? You are looking at another website.
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.
