has anyone ever purchased there van or a car thro ebay motors?

i have seen a bailey advertised on the for sale section on here and its also advertised on gumtree etc

while the van is fantastic it does seem like a very good bargain mmm

it says it comes with paperwork etc cris reg too plus lots o extras.

i emailed the seller to see if it was still available and the seller has said they will but it on ebay motors as a buy it now then they will deliver to me ,now i do use ebay but never bought a large item like this and didnt know that ebay did this system.

 private listing on eBay
- you go and buy it through their website,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the caravan,
- you receive the caravan,
- they send me the money,
I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the caravan in good order.

your thought's please,i'm not in no way saying i dont trust the seller so i hope i dont upset anyone just your thoughts on this process or am i better asking to see if i can pay cash on delivery once all cris checks have been done.thanx debs

Its a scam. Ebay don't do an escrow service like the seller is claiming.

You'll pay the money and never see them again.

Don't do it.

PS. The photos have probably been lifted from another seller.

PPS. Why on earth would you consider handing over money for a caravan you've never seen?

Did you google streetview it too?  Maybe the caravan is sat outside waiting for DHL to come and pick it up and deliver it to you lol.

Sounds just a bit iffy to me, did you report it to ebay?

Actually eBay do do escrow in the motoring exactly like that BUT you are not protected for the bigger items you buy on eBay from the motoring section (cars, caravan, boats etc.)

It looks risky to me.  In any case you would want to go through the van with a fine toothcomb first before purchasing it, especially to check for the dreaded 'D'.  (Damp)

My advice is steer well clear, pay your hard earned cash over for a van only after you have gone all over it and are happy with everything including if the person has the right to sell it. i.e. is the rightful owner.
