Scam. What they do is try to get all of the real information on what you are selling, then they will copy your ad, list it somewhere else with all of the real information, and then scam someone else. I have seen this happen on several occasions. Most recently there was an ad on cars.com that showed a Porsche Cayman for sale in Chicago. The VIN was legit, the location was legit, but then the "owner" replies to your inquiry with some "I have just been transferred out of the country" crap and tries to get a money order deposit from you. I have also known several reputable car dealers who have had their ebay account hi-jacked! Bottom line: make all transactions in person!
