Please be VERY careful if considering buying any motor vehicle through eBay - there are scams everywhere. For some reason motorhomes are a popular choice for scammers. If you see a listing that appears to be fraudulent there's a link in every listing to report it to eBay. Don't be surpised if no action is taken.

In a TV programme about organised crime, a senior police officer reported that one criminal gang alone had registered "multiple hundreds" of fake accounts on eBay to place fraudulent listings for motor vehicles. And this is on top of ordinary sellers not mentioning faults, or lying about the vehicle's condition.

It's important to understand is that there is NO BUYER PROTECTION WHATSOEVER for vehicles bought here, however you pay. Many buyers don't realise this, which is why vehicle sales on eBay are so attractive to criminals. In one day alone we heard of three buyers who each lost over £6,000 when the cars they paid for turned out not to exist.

Don't fall for bargain prices on eBay, or for claims that eBay will hold your payment safe until you have approved the vehicle. These promises are fake.

The golden rule is not to pay anything, not even a deposit, until you have seen the vehicle, inspected it thoroughly, including the paperwork, and had an HPI check. Then pay in cash, which is the only method of payment that is safe for both buyer and seller.

If a seller comes up with excuses not to accept these conditions, walk away from it.

This is both.

There is NO motorhome, you you will lose money. There isn't any ebay protection with vehicles anyway.

NEVER pay money until you can see vehicle in person (seller won't allow this, as these is no vehicle).

As soon as ebay remove listings, more appear.
