You just provided the eBay gift card number to probably hundreds people, all around the world.
Consider that gift card to be useless now.
And why would someone sell a vehicle online at a loss, when they could easily sell it at any used car lot, and make a profit?!?

·2 years agoOMGosh, is the "confirmation " number the 13 numbers on the back of the gift card?
If so you don't have to worry about being scammed. You just scammed yourself. Anyone reading this can steal the gift card. So you're screwed. Scammers cruise the boards looking for such information.

No, luckily in this case the "confirmation number" is just a made up number on the fake invoice that the scammer sends to the intended victim.

·2 years agoThat is a liar scammer and thief out to steal your money. eBay does not work like that nor does eBay deliver anything. eBay will NEVER tell you to pay with gift cards. eBay does not assist in sales or payments of items on other sites.
Deployed, yea sure. This is a common scam and many lose money to it every day.

·2 years agoBeware 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):

https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-fraud-schemes/online-vehicle-sale-fraud
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.
