A vehicle being sold by teamtrj17 lists as being in the United States but isn't specific.  Yes, the deal is too good to be true but many diamonds start out rough sometimes on Ebay so why shouldn't we pursue it?

The offer appears genuine and has assurances of buyer protection through Ebay's own Vehicle Purchase Protection program.  The first requirement that caused doubt was that of Ebay holding half the proceeds until the vehicle could be shipped from England, the remainder paid on delivery thus assuring buyer and seller of a square deal.

Reading Ebay's Vehicle Purchase Protection program, it states the vehicle, the seller, and the institution used for payment must be located in the United States.  Ebay also tells buyers not to send payment via Western Union.  This seller offers to close the auction early with a truly good purchase price outside of the auction and immediately upon my agreement to do so, I get an email from Ebay describing my committment to buy and providing instructions to forward half the proceeds, via Western Union, directly to the seller.

Any such message coming from Ebay would also be located in My Messages within My Ebay but this letter could not be found.  No further emails were ever received by the seller and Ebay's anti-fraud group was notified.  Their response was that this auction was indeed a fraud and the auction terminated.

My suggestion to all Ebay members: verify the validity of any email postings from Ebay by finding them in your My Messages folder within My Ebay.  Know Ebay policies especially in cases where considerable funds are involved.  This fraud failed to make any gains from this buyer... don't let similar shenanigans strip you of your hard earned cash either.
