Anyone offering to use "eBay Buyer Protection Program" outside of eBay is a scammer! There is an eBay Buyer protection but it is ONLY on eBay and IS NOT an escrow service, storage service, inspection service or delivery service. Anyone claiming that eBay Buyer protection is holding the car is a scammer!

Hi, I have received your email regarding the 2003 Toyota Camry XLE with only 64k miles. The car is in perfect condition with clear title, no accidents, no liens or loans and it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. The price for the car is $1,500(including delivery and handling to your address).
I'm selling this car because my child of only 26 years died 2 months ago in a bike accident, the car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it.
Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and we want to make this deal through eBay's Buyer Protection Program, so if you're interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once that is done, they will contact you in the next 24 hours to explain the entire procedure.

God Bless you and your family

Hi,
The car is located at eBay warehouse in Lynnwood, WA,headquarters, in the container, sealed and ready for shipping.The price is low $1500 because i want a fast deal, the car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories.Like i told, the car is in perfect condition with clear title, no liens or loans. All the documents including the title and the bill of sale with my signature on it, will come along with the car and it will take no more than 2-3 days to arrive at your address.
The transaction will be made thru eBay's Buyer Protection Program because they can protect both of us and they also offer 10 days inspection period. You'll have 10 days to inspect, test and drive the car before decided to keep it or not. If the vehicle is not like I described, you'll ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund.eBay will hold the funds until you receive the car with all the papers work. Only after you confirm them that you wanna keep the car they will release me the funds. In this way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it.
Thank you for the info ,i will contact eBay and i will proceed the deal.You will receive a notification from them with all the steps you need to follow to complete the deal. E-mail me when you will receive the notification from eBay

Thank you.
