Im looking at buying a van but the seller says they are working in scotland and want me to pay via paypal for it to be delivered to me in essex,
the seller is saying
Hello,
I still have the van for sale, the condition is excellent and it has no damages or any faults. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments. If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £5295 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go through eBay and PayPal.
Thank you
so i replied
hi it sounds lovely and im a very serious buyer, please can you tell me when you will be back as i won't be sending any money for something i cant physically see and i'd need to do address checks with your ID and do a hpi report to make sure nothing is outstanding on the van and it hasn't been in a bad accident. if everything is in order i can pay straight away by whatever means you like cash paypal or instant transfer.
this is the reply i got
Due to my location and since view or pick up is not an option I will agree for a 5-7 days of full inspection period ( after the date you receive the van ). This means that you have 7 days to inspect the van for any damages and decide if you want to keep it or not!
Because I will sign eBay's return policy, your money will be insured by them and you will have the option to reject the deal, only if we go through PayPal as well. If this is the case, you will receive a full refund (money back) from PayPal and I will have to take the van back on my cost!
Let me know if the above return policy is acceptable and if you want to purchase the van please confirm your PayPal email for further instructions.
my questions are , is this a scam? will i get my money back if the van is not mechanically as discribed?
