very misleading advert -drove car for 5 miles ,phoned to take it back he said it will have to be next week because he was going away ? ad says bought as seen - but it was not as seen on the e bay page ,i have all the receipts for the work that had to be carried out + i think a very dodgy MOT .the garage i took it to agree unlikely it had passed " legally" the person i bought it from refused to take it back and refund the money ,ebay are compensating me for the trouble in the sum of £100 , i paid £9000 for the vehicle , thank,s for taking the time to read this .
regards

Depending on the sellers rating you 'might' have had redress (through Paypal if you had used them) at one stage but because you carried out repairs, that deems you have accepted the vehicle. If you push the seller, they may accept taking it back (well who wouldnt, you just spent 3k on it). They are under no obligation to refund money you have spent on it. The best chance you may have is if you can prove the MOT is illegal and then go after the garage that gave it, again because you have had many repairs carried out, I suspect this would also be an impossible route to prove.
Sorry its not better news.

in the event that they are prepared to deliver the vehicle to you and prepared to pay to have it shipped lower back in case you do no longer like it, sure that's a ripoff or a scam. If I have been merchandising a vehicle on Ebay, transport would be on the price of the customer and the words would say that they had a precise to envision it earlier procuring, yet whilst they chosen to no longer, there would be no return. a stable rule of thumb is that if it sounds too stable to be genuine, it in all probability is. If somebody is merchandising a vehicle on Ebay, they do no longer would desire to sell on Craigslist. My guess is which you will no longer see the vehicle on Ebay in case you bypass look for it. as quickly as you deliver the scammers money you will by no potential hear from them lower back and additionally you unquestionably will by no potential see a vehicle which you supposedly bought.

I thought eBay had a policy that they guarnteed vehiicles to some extent. I think your next step is small claims court, 9000 pounds though that is a major crime.

well if this guy basically lied about what he was selling then its the same as if you got an ad out of a paper.you would claim your money back.if the seller still says you cant then seek legal advice it will be worth it esp if you have all reciepts etc

You will probably have to take him to court.What possessed you you to buy a car without going to look at it & take it for a test run?I would never buy something expensive on ebay.I wish you well,but you may lose your money.Good luck.
