Re: how do you know ebay motors sale on internet is legit

You find the vehicle on this eBay site, not another site.  If it is not listed on this site, it is not for sale on eBay.  If you are on another site giving promises like eBay handles the shipping and storage and financing and if you are asked to pay with eBay cards.  This is a scam.

If you are seeing vehicle sales on other sites where the seller is telling you that eBay will handle the sale, that's a common scam, and you would be dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money.

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

You can report the listing to the site where you found it.
