BUYING A CAR

[twentysevern]

Hi there, why is it that most car traders don't have a 'feedback received' detail, they sell cars via ebay but no one ever leaves feedback? Can this be true or should I be wary as there's no feedback about them selling cars?

Thanks.

Classified ads don't have feedback.

If classified ad, no feedback can be left. 

Remember there is NO ebay MBG for vehicles.

Never pay anything until you have seen car in person.

should I be wary

You should always be wary if thinking of buying a car through eBay. There is NO BUYER PROTECTION WHATSOEVER for vehicles bought here, however you pay.

This makes eBay motors a magnet for criminals. 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 non-existent motor vehicles.

The golden rule is not to pay anything, not even a deposit, until you have seen and inspected the vehicle, checked 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.
