Hi I recently bought a vehicle off if eBay motors and I have been having a lot of trouble with it, I spent the 1200 on the car then another 1000 on insurance and then another 1000 on shipping fee and I have no confirmation on any of it except insurance and car payment, I have a order number and case ID so I’m gonna need some clearance or to talk to someone about this. Thanks

There is no easy way to tell you this. You have been scammed. You found this vehicle listed on another site, not eBay, and were evidently told the transaction would be handled through eBay. That was a lie. eBay has nothing at all to do with anything listed for sale on any other site except eBay. Why would they?
You paid with gift cards. Gift cards are untraceable, just like cash. When they are gone, they're gone.
There is no car. There is no soldier, widow, divorcee or whatever other persona you were told was selling the car. You have lost all your money.
This is a fairly common scam and we are so sorry you fell for it.
To be clear, this sale had nothing at all to do with eBay.

Correction: 100% of the time eBay had nothing to do with it.

Any way I can get an update on it? I can give you a case ID number if I need. Thanks!

You got scammed. There is no car and since you paid in gift cards your money is gone.

That is a SCAMMER. They keep getting more money out of you however, there is no car. Just a sneak thief that has stolen your money. eBay does not work like that. They never assist in sales or payments of items on other sites.
Sorry to say but your money is gone and can't be recovered.
