Of course it's a scam.

To add. 

There is NO ebay protection for vehicles and deposits are not valid.

Unless you can see the car 1st, do NOT pay any money.

Have a read of the ebay link,as any add selling a car online should be viewed,inspected and tested etc,before any monetary emails are sent or accepted,due to the amount of Car Scams that are around.You did well to ask about the fake seller on facebook.
