All items which are excluded from eBay's money back guarantee - cars, camper vans, commercial vehicles, boats etc. - are regularly exploited by scammers.
In one day alone we heard of three buyers who each lost over £6,000 when vehicles they paid for turned out not to exist. 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 of this type.
Could eBay do more to warn buyers of the risk? Certainly they could, but they don't. EBay is a jungle!
If you're a potential buyer of anything not covered by eBay's MBG, remember that the golden rule is not to pay anything, not even a deposit, until you have seen the item, inspected it thoroughly, including the paperwork. 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.
