How to sell on Facebook and go through eBay for payment and shipping

[tootsywootsy2595]

I have a seller on Facebook marketplace who said they made arrangements to have the sale of a Motorhome go thru eBay for payment.  I pay eBay and eBay will then ship it to me sight unseen.  I then have five days to drive it and accept the motorhome.  This sounds very fishy, but she sent me pictures and everything.

It's a complete and total scam - pictures and "everything" were stolen from some other site.

eBay doesn't have anything to do with Facebook Marketplace or any other sites.

It is a SCAM!!!

Ebay has nothing to do with ads on Facebook Marketplace or any other website. Ebay does not "handle" transactions from other sites, Ebay does not have storage facilities, Ebay does not ship anything, Ebay would never require payment with gift cards.

The pictures "she" sent you are fake, taken from someone else's ad.

You are dealing with a criminal that is trying to steal your money.

This is a common scam, and you are dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money.

If the item isn't listed on eBay and if you don't purchase it through the eBay listing, the transaction has nothing to do with eBay.
