• To be covered by eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, the vehicle must be purchased on eBay Motors.
• If you're buying on another site and someone offers eBay Purchase Protection or claims to be affiliated with eBay, it's probably a scam.

Be cautious about vehicles offered on Craigslist, Autotrader, or other online sites that claim to be eBay transactions.

Here's how the scam works:

• Sellers on these sites pretend to be eBay agents or sellers.
• They promise that the vehicles will be covered by and paid through eBay's Vehicle Protection Program or eBay's escrow services, even though they're not being sold on eBay.

This isn't true, and we encourage you to be alert about these scams.

If you receive an email or phone call that sounds suspicious, here's what to do:

• Don't give out any personal or financial information.
• Refuse to complete a transaction unless it's on eBay.
• Verify that the email is really from eBay by checking your messages on the eBay site.
• Don't wire money through Western Union or MoneyGram.
• Report the scam to us by forwarding the email to spoof@ebay.com.
