This is a SCAM. Period. Do not engage with the scammer and report them to Facebook. eBay does not have anything to do with listings on other sites. If you see a listing on another website that says it's an eBay transaction, it's not. It's a big fat scam.

 

There is no warehouse. eBay Motors doesn't handle shipping. Vehicles can't be returned, thus there's no inspection period. There is no grieving widow, no deployed military member. There IS a scammer, most likely overseas in an internet cafe somewhere, trying to steal your money.

 

Don't give them your information, if you did you gave your information to a scammer who will send you a fake eBay invoice, probably wanting payment by gift cards. DEFINITELY a scam since eBay doesn't handle payments on vehicles. Forward the email to spoof <at> ebay.com and report the seller on Facebook.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

Possibly the most important precaution is that there's no substitute for your intuition. If something seems too good to be true, or just doesn't feel right, listen to that little voice or uneasy feeling. Don't be embarrassed to walk away from a transaction that sets off red flags.

It's an old scam.

 

To put it simply - if it's not on eBay then it's not on eBay.
