wondering if this is a for real deal or not
I recently ran across this listing and was wondering if its for REAL (It would be Great buy if it is)
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/738135221465224/
however I saw a couple things that concerned me, First the Seller wants me to give my Name and address to them so they can send That information to Ebay to "arange shipping and transaction this was an exerpt from my recent email with them (No credit information contained or irl name etc):
Hello again,
Now I'm here in Wichita, KS, back with my parents, after the divorce. My camper is already at eBay here in Wichita along with all the paperwork and the transaction will be done through them. eBay will handle the shipping, the payment, and the paper exchange. The vehicle is ready to be delivered to your place. You will have free shipping and 5 days to test-drive and inspect the camper before I receive any money. This way, I will have protection for my vehicle and you will have protection for your money.
If you are really interested in buying my camper, please reply with your full name, a delivery address and a phone #. I will forward this info to eBay and they will contact you with all the info on how to buy it.

Thank you.
I also saw a almost if not identicial listing by this seller that shows it "listed" in More then one state (which leads me to beliece its a scam ) though they did send me several interior and Exterior pictures of the unit.
if anyone can hekp me clear this up or find out if its a scam or not Please email me at the following address:

It is a SCAM!!!
Ebay does not have anything to do with ads found on other sites such as Facebook Marketplace, etc. Ebay does not "handle" those transactions. Ebay will NOT be contacting you, the scammer (or their accomplice) will call you pretending to be from Ebay.
You are dealing with a criminal that is trying to steal your money.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS:

ebay has nothing to do with motor vehicles found on another website. ebay does not have a warehouse, does not ship to you for free to inspect and then ship it back if you don't like it. ebay does not accept ebay gift cards in payment for a motor vehicle.
If you don't find the motor vehicle listed ON ebay, with a 12 digit item number, that you either bid on or use the BUY IT NOW, the transaction is a SCAM. Stop communicating with the scammer. Report that "listing" to the website it is listed on.
