Another Ebay post - this one is a question

I put in a low-ball bid on a 68 stanger.

The auction was cancelled after a couple days. I sent a question to the seller.

They emailed back saying they are out of the country and had turned the transaction over to ebay itself to sell the car outright at a fixed price, which includes shipping to continental us.

In fact, the seller even said they'd give me my deposit back if I was not satisfied with the car once I saw it and there would be no cost for shipping.

The price is quite low (and attractive I might add).

Now what the seller wants is my full name, address, and zip code and they will give that info to ebay, who will in turn contact me with the amount of the deposit and terms of the transaction.

Should I be leary about giving out this info. It's not like it is my social security number or drivers license or anything.

Has anyone heard of anything like this? I'm thinking it is a scam to get my deposit. The pictures they sent me are of the car but it has two different sets of wheels on it between pictures....

Wierd - I'd love to get the car for the asking price though.

Nope, suppose that would be a good idea, huh?



Will do that now.

Thanks!

It's looking more and more like a scam.

The seller hasn't had any feedback and just signed up recently.

I did send a message to ebay - I think I know what they are going to come back with...

I think so too, but why would they only be asking for my name and address and not bank accounts and such?
