I am interested in purchasing a vehicle that was listed for sale on ebay. It is not currently listed for sale but I received a purchase order for $1400 and the only acceptable method of payment is to purchase ebay or apple gift cards. Seems very sketchy to me.

It is all a Scam!!
Anyone asking for gift cards is a scammer.

That is a fake purchase order.
eBay doesn't need your name and email address because they know who you are when you hit buy now or bid.
The seller probably asked for your information to let eBay know you're the buyer. Well, it doesn't work that way. They wanted your info so they can send you a fake invoice.
eBay does not handle payment arrangements on vehicles and if they did they would never ask you to pay with gift cards.
Plain and simple, the scammer is trying to steal gift cards.
Forward the email to spoof@ebay.com.
