Free email marketing

I was searching on craigslist.com and came upon a 2006 dodge ram SRT-10 for only $5400. the owner sent me an e-mail. the guy says that he wants to do the transaction through ebay motors. he said that after I complete the deposit I will have 10 days to test it out before he gets the money. he says he had just moved to quebec, canada. he is offering to handle shipping free and says that an “ebay refund policy” will be enforced on the transaction. he also says that he wants to start the whole procedure himself. I specifically asked for his phone number and in the e-mail he sent me it didn’t mention his phone number at all. he wanted to know my full name and the shipping address. this was what the e-mail said:

Hello,

Thanks for your email!
First of all I would like to tell you that the car is located in Quebec, Canada as I recently moved here.
I received a good job here and along with the job I received a company car a new Range Rover gas expenses free. I have no use for Dodge RAM anymore and I will not spend a fortune to register it
here so I am forced to sell it much below the US market value.
The full price is $5,400 US dollars with shipping included to your location. I have a clean title ready to be signed, you will test drive the car for 10 days after you complete the deposit to eBay.
The car has no electrical or mechanical problems, never been involved in any kind of accidents.
For our protection we can use eBay Motors to complete the transaction.
The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. In order to start the official transaction, I need to know your details:
- Full name and Shipping address
As soon as I have them, I’ll start the official procedure and eBay service will notify you about this.
I’ll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you. We will use eBay Motors to manage the payment because it is the safest way for both of us and also you will have
10 days to inspect the car before I receive the money. Also, an eBay refund policy will be included.

2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10

does ebay even hold money for you and does the ebay refund policy even exist?

First Email:

Hello Lily,

The car is available. Here is the car info: 14,000 miles on the clock, like new condition, no scratches, no dents, accident-free, clear title. There are no lien or loan on the car and I’m the registered owner with the title in hand. You will receive all the documents, including the title signed over to your name.
As you probably noticed, the price is rather low: $6,300. I’m going through a bitter divorce and unfortunately it’s forcing me to sell it under market value.
The car is located in Charlotte, NC in my garage. A friend of mine is a DAS employee and he can deliver the truck anywhere in the US for a really good price. You will have the car in front of your house in 3 to 7 days, depending on your exact location. You will also have 5 days to inspect the vehicle. If, by any reason, the car is not as described, or if you find any problems with it, I will pay for the returning fees. I’m sure it won’t be the case because it’s a state of art vehicle inside and out.

If you want to reserve the truck for you, I need your details(name,address..).

Second Email:

Hi again,

I have talked to my friend about shipping costs and he got me a really good price at only $400 which I think its fair to split 50/50, so the total cost will be $6,500 and you will have the car in front of your house in 3-4 days.

The sale will be managed through eBay under their Vehicle Purchase Protection program since they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions. They act as a neutral third party. Look how this works:

1. I will contact eBay and give all the info about this deal.
2. They will email us the forms which are needed for our deal(invoice, payment instructions, buyer’s and seller’s protection policy)
3. You will send the money to eBay and they will notify me to ship the car to your location.
4. After you will inspect the car and decide to keep it, eBay will forward the funds to me once you have approved them to do so. You will have 5 days to inspect the vehicle.

They will hold and insure your money until you will receive and test the car.

I need your name and shipping address so I can reserve the car for you and register the transaction with eBay and they will contact you with all the instructions step by step on how to complete the transaction .

Best Regards,

I found a SUV on Craigslist and the guy that’s selling the SUV sent me this message after i agreed that i would like to buy the SUV

Thank you for your swift response. In order for us both to feel comfortable with the transaction, I propose we close the deal through Ebay Motors, since they are the biggest and the most trustworthy online market place, under their Vehicle Purchase Protection Program (they will work like a third party in this transaction). Basically, it’s similar to buying a truck locally, the money will be sent to their holding account, and they will keep the money until you will receive the truck. I will briefly describe the transaction steps so I can make things clearer for both of us:

1. Buyer and seller reach an agreement (price and delivery condition).
2. Seller sends all the details of the transaction to Ebay for registration.
3. Ebay will email us the forms on how to complete the transaction (invoice, payment details, buyer and seller protection policy)
4. Buyer sends the money to the Ebay Motors holding account.
5. Ebay Motors confirms to seller that the amount has been received.
6. Seller performs the required services (shipping, insurance).
7. Buyer receives the vehicle and has 5 days to inspect it.
8. Buyer accepts delivery and informs Ebay Motors about the acceptance.
9. Ebay Motors releases the money to seller.

If you won’t like the truck or if it is not as advertised, which I can assure you it won’t be the case because it’s a state of the art looking and working vehicle, it will be returned to me at my expense and you will receive a full refund from Ebay. I tried to be as clear as possible to be sure we are on the same page.

I need your consent as well as your name and shipping address, so we can register the transaction with Ebay in order to receive their instructions step by step on how to complete the transaction safely. If you have other questions feel free to email me, I hope we can do business together.

Is this really true.. that ebay lets you inspect the car for 5 days and then the money is transferred to the seller..?

derek l asked:


Hello, I found a car at Craigslist.com. I have talked to the person selling the car and they have lowered the price from 4800 to 4100. This car is in mint condition and it is hard to believe that they would sell it for this much. My family is sure that it is a scam but I wanted to get another opinion.
Here is the email she sent me with the details of her transaction. I am in CA, USA by the way.
Hi again,I hope you are serious and you are not trying to take advantage of me now when i need money.
All the manuals and the original documents are in English.It is made for US market and has US specs on it .You will receive this along with all papers and receipts that you need to register it in your name.I will shipp you the car for free because i have a friend at the delivery service that will manage me a low cost shipping and a fast one also!It will take 5 working days to be delivered at your door.I prefer to deal through Fortis Escrow for our own protection.
