[QUOTE="DDD, post: 568039, member: 35"] easy child/difficult child has found a CAR on ebay. Good Grief! I can't wrap my head around buying such a big ticket item, sight unseen, from a stranger who lives in Utah. Yeah, that's right Utah...and we live in Florida? WTH??? Based on the communication: 1. A divorced woman has a low mileage great car with Carfax etc. and will pay for the shipping costs. 2. The pictures look great and she alledges that it is in prime shape. 3. Why isn't she keeping it? Well, she got it after a divorce and she does not drive at all. 4. The Ebay site shows that it has an automobile financing expert etc. available to buyers ? sellers ? 5. It is represented that you pay 1/2 to Ebay, then Ebay approves the car to be shipped and holds the money. 6. There is a Buyer inspection period (can't remember how long but at least two weeks) and the Buyer can back out if not satisfied. 7. If the Buyer is happy the remainder of the money is sent to Ebay and then ??? Ebay sends all the paperwork to the Buyer. Does that make sense? Please let me know if you have any experience with this type of sale. DDD [/QUOTE]
