Yep. A few things they guy did wrong:
- sent the entire amount. Send a deposit and then use escrow or go pick up the car yourself.
- Assumed 98% was good feedback. I wouldn't buy a $10 item from somebody with 98%; let alone a $20K item.
- Assuming eBay was a big company and he was safe to deal with sellers. Nope. Just because the Calgary Herald is a large newspaper; it doesn't mean you are 100% safe buying something from their classifieds.
