I was sent PayPal money requests for a different amounts than auction
winner with a promise to pay me the difference in cash at pick up,
repeated second chance offers, unreturned emails and never produced a
phone number to discuss the purchase.

They have not returned my emails about this auction either.

I didn't Carfax the van and would highly recommend doing this if you consider buying off eBay.  Make sure that it matches the model and options very carefully.

Dylan,

 

How did the scam work? How did you catch them? I can only assume they don't own the van at all. I noticed that the seller has 0 feedback.

Just a warning.
I won this van months ago and they tried to scam me.
It was located on Long Island, NY last time around.

I see there are already bids, bidder beware.
