Scam

Hello everyone.

I have an account holder/seller who posted a van and a BMW, I enquired about the van we agreed on a price and asked that I make £300 to secure the van which I did.

A few hours after the deposit i noticed his listing was gone and his account was no longer active, his number no longer goes through.

His account history shows that he made a purchase in the past, if you are the seller of the item he purchased, could help find his address please..

Screen shots attached.

Thanks in advance.

the whole listing was a scam, the account was probably hijacked

you should never pay a deposit for ebay items as ebay do not cover deposits

also, you should never pay for a vehicle before examining it in person for the same reason

It is a scam.

You never pay a deposit on an motor you have not seen

You go and check it over and once you are sure it is as said then you pay in cash or bank transfer and take the motor away

How did you pay the deposit
