Hi people. I have been in contact with a person selling a Car on AUTOTRADER. However due to her being deployed to overseas, cannot self the car personally, so has arranged a deal with EBAY to sell on her behalf. So i had to confirm my interest first. Supply Name, email address, home address and phone number. 1. I had to then send a photo of Drivers licence or passport to confirm. 2. I then received a invoice for the payment required, and it had to be paid within 4hours. This is where it came unstuck. My impression on being a buyer and seller on EBAY that there is no time frame. I also asked questions about seeing the car and test driving it, but the reply that came back was i couldn't do that unless I paid for it first. At looking at the photo of the car, it said Manual, but I questioned that and she came back with it being auto. It's all beginning to look a bit suspicious now, so I enquire at the place to where she is suppose to be at present, they tell me she doesn't work there. EBAY say they will only email anything to you on your messages portal on your EBAY account and NOT directly to any personal email address. I really wanted this to be legit, but I'm not going to buy into it.
Hope this helps someone else too.
