is this fake?

[2009mell]

hi people, have been in contact with a seller for car found on the trading post site. Deal is good, but is it too good? Apparently the owner just moved to uk after divorce. Car is meant to be at transport company in Aust, revs check confirmed what it is and where its registered.
My problem is, the owners email tells me that she has a contract with ebay to sell the car through them... then says...
deal will go like this (remember Ive never used ebay for more than small stuff).
1, i give her my details and shipping address
2, she informs ebay and ebay sends me an invoice for amount payable
3, i pay ebay and the car is "shipped" to me at no cost to me
4, i have 5 days to have the car inspected and decide whether i want it.
5, if i want it ebay pays her, if i dont, she sends for the car, ebay refunds my money and thats the end of that......

Is this a SCAM? Or is this a legitimate way for difficult situation sales to be managed by ebay????
Please Help, still waiting for ebay support to get back to me..

Is the method the same?

If so, yes.

It doesn't matter what the car is, the scam is always similar.

The 2015 red Hyundai I30 ,is another one of its scams,

Once would have been enough.

And they are all scams, regardless of the car. There is no car, so it doesn't matter what they say the car is.

Why was my post removed,?the Red Hyundai i30?wasn't my comment good enough?

[davewil1964]

All FOUR of your posts, including the 3 duplicates are still here.

With this one, that makes 5 of your 5 posts still clogging up the internet.

[davewil1964]

It wasn't.

ALL 6 of your 6 posts are still here.

You seem to need to get a grip.
