You know, sometimes I type a Reply... sit back and read it... and tick 'Cancel'. That gives me the most satisfaction. For real.

LOL. This is kind of like Flipping Off the Guy who cut you off AFTER he turns the corner, NOT as he's staring you down in his Rear View Mirror. I don't have that ability. Finger is coming out as soon as he cuts me off. And if he has an issue with it, pull over. Let's deal with it. 😂
Absolutely! Sadly, this so often happens to people who can ill-afford to lose that money (which is probably mostly everyone) and also desperately need a vehicle to get to work, get to school, get to medical appointments. So sorry, OP.
There is no sale on eBay, there is no motor home and there is no refund. It sounds like you were mislead into thinking you were buying motor home off of eBay....sadly, eBay motors did have this item listed as a real item
Beware scammers who advertise on other sites and tell you that the transaction will be handled through eBay.
That is not how eBay works. eBay does not rely on users finding ads on Facebook or other sites and sending contact information to a seller. Likely the seller will send a phony "invoice" that appears to be from eBay but is not, asking you to pay with gift cards to have the vehicle shipped to you for a free evaluation period.
eBay has no warehouse and does not ship vehicles. eBay does not handle such transactions or provide "vehicle protection orders". Scammers often promise those things, though. Any phone number you may receive on such an "invoice" does not connect to eBay, but to the scammer.
Anyone that asks you to purchase gift cards or to send card codes to them to complete a transaction is trying to take advantage of you. Anyone asking for a gift card is looking for a gift at your expense. Once anyone else knows the code, your money will be gone and you will have no recourse.
See here for some info about avoiding such scams (US links):
The only way to purchase a vehicle on eBay is to sign in to eBay, find the vehicle on eBay and complete the checkout process on eBay, so that the item appears in your Purchase History. Then you typically meet the seller to inspect the vehicle, pay the seller, and collect the keys, title and vehicle.
If you encountered an ad on another site, contact that site to have the ad removed. eBay is not involved with any ads listed on sites other than eBay itself.

·9 months agoHi @robthesp10
How did you pay for the motorhome?
You likely were told to pay by a method that doesn’t permit refunds. If not, contact your payment source for a chargeback.
I’m really very sorry this happened.

Usually when folks feel this way, the transaction didn't happen on eBay. Are you sure you weren't on fb or the like?

·9 months agoThere’s no such thing as a motorhome for $800 unless it’s basically junk.
Did you purchase from a listing on eBay or another site that made it seem like the transaction was through eBay?
Did you pay using gift cards or?
