Mentor3 years agoThis 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 read eBay's warning here:

Read about eBay gift card scams here:

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

·3 years agoThis is a well-known scam!!! There is no car. This is not how eBay does things. Stop communication with this thief. All the promises are lies.

It's an old scam.
There is no car, just a thief that wants to steal your money.
Ebay has nothing to do with vehicles found on other sites.
Report the ad to FB.
