Legit purchase???
I have recieved an invoice from what looks like ebay for an item I want to buy. The only payment option offered is ebay gift card number and photos. Is this real?

·2 years agoNo. If you found the item on another site and received an eBay invoice it is definitely a scam. eBay checkout on the actual site accepts all credit cards, PayPal, Google Pay, and more.

·2 years agoNo, it's a common scam. eBay does not serve as an intermediary for sales that originate at other sites such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. The scammers want to be paid with gift crds because they cannot be traced or refunded.
We see posts about this scam every day. Usually they involve a vehicle (car, truck, RV, etc.) and an urgent sale (overseas assignment, death in the family) with the promise of free delivery and a 5-day inspection period. Does that sound familiar?
