    Vehicle purchase

    I’m purchasing a car on eBay and the seller wants me to wire the funds to his bank. Will I will receive Vehicle Purchase Protection?

    An item has to be listed on eBay to be an eBay sale.  There is no other way.  eBay never assists in sales or payments of item listed on other sites.   If it's not listed on eBay, your dealing with a thief.

     

    You need to inspect it and pay in person if you choose to purchase it.   Need to know the eBay item number to answer about any protection.   Wired money is just like cash, it's not recoverable.

     Can you give us the item number?  We want to make sure it's listed on eBay. There are many scams involving vehicles. Once a wired payment is received you can't  reverse the payment.

     

    What is covered is explained in this link.

     

    www.pages.ebay.com/motors/buy/purchase-protection/

     

    Scroll down until you see Full Terms & Conditions and click that and read what's eligible and how to make a claim.

     

    You need to do pre-purchase research and inspection before buying. Wired payments from a bank or a credit union are okay as long as you, the seller, the vehicle and the financial  institutions are all located in the U.S. or Canada.

    Im going to guess you found this car on FB, Craigslist .... but NOT on eBay.

     

    What is a vehicle purchase protection?

     

    Sounds like a scam to me.

    Is the vehicle actually listed on eBay?

     

    If so, does the listing show that the purchase "qualifies" for Vehicle Purchase Protection?

     

    I purchased 2 vehicles on eBay. I inspected the vehicle before paying.
