This is a scam. The use of ebay is the key. If they wanted a quick sale, they wouldn't care about a refund for you. Not to mention that your looking at autotrader.ca and he's talking about ebay.

I've been looking for an RV and had nearly the identical emails back. I tried to see if they were a scam, asked them if my friend could look at the unit, or if we could talk by phone, and nothing back. I tried hard, saying that my friend would buy it (this unit was in Halifax), pay cash on site to rush the deal if the unit looked good, again, nothing.

And who on earth would cover the cost of shipping a vehicle from the east to the west, and if you don't like it, then ship it back? That's an extraordinary amount of money right there.
