Caravan sale

I have seen a caravan on eBay and have been emailing the seller who lives abroad but is selling the caravan for a relative who has sadly passed away, it seems too good a deal the caravan is the other end of the country the seller wants me to pay with OFX secure payments on behalf of eBay's managed payments program m, I then have a 7 day inspection period , if I accept they then pay him , if I don't they will return my money,  has anyone heard of this before?

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

 

Caravan does not exist, DO NOT pay any money.

If you want a caravan, go & see it in person & only pay money, in cash, after inspecting it & am happy.

Or buy from local dealer.

Scam SAm Scam

It is the oldest scam there is for caravans and motors

There is no caravan and no inspecion period

There is no money back guaratee with ebay

Once you have paid by that method of payment then you will not see your money again or the caravan

This scam is so well known I am surprised people still dont know about it

Buyer beware ! ...  Sounds like the start of a classic scam ... Caravan will not exist ... anyone who makes an offer or attempts to buy through messages is likely to lose their money if they proceed with this deal arrangement ... eBay do not hold the monies/offer a Trial period/ Escrow/Delivery service for the Vehicle ... Do not pay anything including deposits until you have arranged a visit to view and examine the Vehicle personally.  ... Unsuitable on inspection ... walk away with your Cash intact.

 

Cash on inspection/collection is the safest and best payment method for vehicles ...(or mutually agreed cleared and confirmed Bank Transfer before the seller releases the Vehicle and documents to you) ... No PayPal payments including holding deposits should be given as there is absolutely No payment protection offered for Collection items/Vehicles.
