[DeTomaso] NPC: Question about car buying on eBay

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Doug 
Did you just fall off the onion truck or what?
Something smells and it smells like a SCAM!
So unless you are buying one of the slacker's
toy Pantera models I'd be highly skeptical as
in "my check is in the mail" or,  "I promise I...."
Okay you know the rest.

Does this smell of a scam or is this guy talking about a service that eBay
motors really provides?  He's selling a car on eBay and is claiming that
eBay has a trust service for being able to buy a car sight unseen with a
5-day inspection period.  Is he right?  Check out his wording below.

I will be back on December 27 this year but we can close the transaction
safe for both of us through eBay.
 I'm offering you a secure deal and the car will be inspected on arrival by
eBay staff. You'll receive the car papers along with the car!

Here is how the process works:

- you give me your shipping address,
- I start a transaction on eBay Motors,
- they send you the payment instructions,
- you send the money into eBay trust account,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I ship the car,
- you receive the car,
- they send me the money.

They will hold the money until the car is delivered to you, with properly
executed title. You will have 5 days for inspection. If the car is not like
described you will have to ship it back on my expense, but I am sure that
you will love it.

In order to move forward I will need your full name and address.

EBay will get in touch with you for further details and instructions.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
