The seller's email sounds like fraud to me, but eBay is an upstanding dealer, for the most part. Harry – I would try to contact eBay about that one.

The sellers who use it may not all be above board, thus the Vehicle Purchase Program covers fraud relating to any automobile purchase done via Ebay. My son recently bought a truck via Ebay and is very pleased with the entire deal. Ebay Motors is a legitimate automobile sales service.

How long as this been going on?" Definitely don't send them the money! This kind of scam has been going on forever. They pretend to be a legitimate escrow service, in reality they are just going to take your money and then the website will disappear and you will never hear from them again. As for how long this particular one has been going on -- the domain "webatrades.com" was registered on May 21, 2008 - one week ago as of the moment I write this. My guess is that this is just one guy (or a small group) who made a fake website for an escrow company and advertises a single car until someone sends them $3000. Then they disappear and take down the website, and put it up under a different name. Maybe next time it will be webcartrades.com or web-auto-trades.com or something. They'll advertise one more car until some idiot sends them the money, and disappear again. It probably only costs them $10 to set up the website, and they get $3000 every time somebody falls for their scam, then they make a whole new website each time, though probably with the same graphics. The Ebay Vehicle Purchase Program is much more likely to be a real thing. I haven't worked with them before, but Ebay is a real company with a long history. Webatrades.com doesn't even exist... “I saw and responded to this car also, they are trying to get me to send the funds ASAP. How long as this been going on?”
