It isn't just eBay that it happens.
I saw a car advertised on Carsales and sent them an email.
They replied with more details and offered me a special price.
While trolling through eBay I found the same car advertised at double the price.
I emailed this guy on eBay and he was the real owner trying to sell it.
Scammers just find cars for sale anywhere and download the images and advertise them to suckers that might pay a deposit or something like that and then the scammers run
