This video highlights the prevalence of scams on eBay Motors, a popular platform for buying and selling vehicles. Scammers often exploit the trust of unsuspecting buyers by using fake listings, phony escrow services, and other fraudulent methods to deceive them.

You aren't buying a car through eBay unless you buy it through an eBay listing on eBay. You are dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money. Whether you are trying to buy a car or anything else...if you are instructed to pay with gift cards, you need to run in the other direction.

Research the value of the car to ensure the asking price is fair. Be suspicious of low-mileage claims. If an ad touts 30,000 miles on a 5-year-old car, ask the seller to take a picture of the odometer and email it to you. If they balk, you've spotted a scam.

Arrange for shipping: Does eBay deliver cars? Simply put, no. Since eBay Motors delivery is not an option, you'll have to arrange to ship it yourself. You can contact a car shipping company or arrange private transport.
