I've bought and sold alot on ebay; not vehicles, however.
But a couple words of caution. If a seller is reluctant to take more pictures
of an item, they are hiding something. Similarly, if the written description
is lacking and it says condition is as shown in the photos, they are hiding
something. Both are red flags and steer clear.
Also check feedback ratings and read any negative or less than positive
feedback. If feedback rating isnt in the high 90s, or if they have a very
limited number of transactions, steer clear as well.
Unfortunately, ebay does not allow you to email or give a phone number to have
direct contact; people cheat them out of their fees if they do.
That being said, report it to ebay and you should be able to geta full refund.
Im surprised that on vehicles it is only going back 10 years. Id approach ebay
again and say it was a parts car or parts and the condition was grossly
misrepresented.
If nothing else, leave clear negative feedback, and if you still dont get your
money back, take him to small claims court.
