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..?
