Curbstoners

[janeandpar]

What is Ebays official stand on sellers flipping cars on open titles ie curbstoning.

Example.

Seller A has a car on Ebay. When asked about title it is in person B's name. Seller A has no intention to transfer title into his own name,but to pass title along with car.

Bill of sale will now not match title,nor will the buyer be able to resolve any title issues with seller as the vehicle never was legaly transfered into his name.

If title is rejected by DMV seller cannot get a duplicate as it was never in his name. If legal owner is un cooperative or unable to find buyer has a vehicle he is unable to register

Above is not applicable on licenced dealers who ofcourse can re-assign a title.
