I can tell you what usually happens when the "unwary winning bidder concludes he has been taken". He has his lawyer contact the seller, who then offers a full refund, because he doesn't want to defend a lawsuit. Seller then turns around and sells the car to another "unwary" buyer.

Or, buyer realizes he's been had once he gets the car home and then desides to wait a few months to pawn the car off on another Ebay sucker. We've seen that a few times on this board!

Not to change the subject, but I think ebay is exposing itself to litigation IF someone buys a car with a trim tag (either real or fake) that was purchased on ebay. I believe plenty of folks have complained to ebay about selling trim tags, and the possibility of them being used for fraudulent purposes.....

I haven't checked in a while but I am sure the contract everyone agrees to when becoming an Ebay member takes care of any liability issues on the part of Ebay when fraud occurs on their web site. Besides, they have more money than anyone here to throw at lawyers until you are drowning in legal costs.
