POSSIBLE SCAM?

If it isn’t listed here, it’s a scam.

 

where did you see it? eBay doesn’t handle transactions for other sites. You don’t pay for things by giving some stranger the code numbers from gift cards.

POSSIBLE SCAM?

Beware scammers who advertise on other sites and tell you that the transaction will be handled through eBay.

 

That is not how eBay works. eBay does not rely on users finding ads on Facebook or other sites and sending contact information to a seller. Likely the seller will send a phony "invoice" that appears to be from eBay but is not, asking you to pay with gift cards to have the vehicle shipped to you for a free evaluation period.

 

eBay has no warehouse and does not ship vehicles. eBay does not handle such transactions or provide "vehicle protection orders". Scammers often promise those things, though. Any phone number you may receive on such an "invoice" does not connect to eBay, but to the scammer.

 

Anyone that asks you to purchase gift cards or to send card codes to them to complete a transaction is trying to take advantage of you. Anyone asking for a gift card is looking for a gift at your expense. Once anyone else knows the code, your money will be gone and you will have no recourse.

 

See here for some info about avoiding such scams (US links):

The only way to purchase a vehicle on eBay is to sign in to eBay, find the vehicle on eBay and complete the checkout process on eBay, so that the item appears in your Purchase History. Then you typically meet the seller to inspect the vehicle, pay the seller, and collect the keys, title and vehicle.

 

If you encountered an ad on another site, contact that site to have the ad removed. eBay is not involved with any ads listed on sites other than eBay itself.

If you found the advertisement on another site, and the communication indicates it is going to be "safe" since eBay will be handling the sale, it is a scam.   eBay has no warehouse, does not arrange shipping, and does not require gift cards or any unsecured payment options to purchase. 

Too good to be true price?  That would be the lure.
