i got an email from someone today for a chevy silverado 1500 from a Cora Harter she says shes in the military andf is supposed to have it shipped to us by you for purchase do you have any thing on record for that? now what should i do?she says ebay services will get ahold of us but is that a scam?

A very common scam. "She" will have you pay in untraceable gift cards and then poof your money is gone and there is no vehicle. Don't lose your money.

Yes, a very common scam.

To clarify:  The scammer didn't just randomly send you a message.  You were shopping on another site, not eBay, most likely Facebook Marketplace or Craig's List.  

You inquired about this truck because it was an AMAZINGLY great deal.  

Be advised that listings on other sites have NOTHING to do with eBay.  Why would they?

And what seller with any brains ships a valuable vehicle to a total stranger for a trial period?

Of course, it's a SCAM.

What should you do? Report this to the site where you found it.  Hope you didn't give the scammer the gift card numbers.

There' s no "eBay  services." If you receive something it will be fake, sent to you by the scammer.  Stop communicating wirh the thief. Report the fraudulent ad on the site you found it.
