    It's back on eBay motors. Hopefully they will flag it, but i posted it here just in case.

    He told me the car is in Charlotte, NC. I ran the VIN, it is not in registered in Texas or North Carolina. The ad claims it is in Weimar, Texas, which is 85 miles from me. I offered to meet him and buy it in cash but he refused.

    He just wants the deposit and he will cut and run I presume.

    There is some crazy stuff happening at ebay. From what I have experience in the past....the info that someone tried to scam me with could only have been obtained from someone inside ebay. I wont go into details but be very careful on line when selling or buying.
