SCAM!!!!

Why can't you pay in cash when you go and pick up the car?

Please don't even consider doing this!!

Do you have a link to the the ebay page(PM me if you don't want to do it publiclly!!)

Well the car is based in Germany so its not quite as simple as handin the cash over like that

There was a thread(might not have even been on here) about this a while ago.

eBay have nothing to do with moneygram and scam seller try and pass moneygram off as an ebay cash holding service.

A link to the ad would help.

I'm gonna have a dig round

The thing is, apparently, I have to send my money to ebay, who holds it until I receive the car and only then will she receive the money.

just bring euros with you when you collect and pay in cash. dont hand over any mony till you have the item.

This sounds dodgy! Don't ebay have a clause that if you use money transfer companys like money gram they wont help you out if you get scammed?

NO AVOID IT!!

if they dont accept paypal or cash on collection just walk away
