    Very frustrating and time consuming experience. I won’t be selling a car through eBay, again. For any question I had, I got 3 different answers. On the phone, eBay support said I needed to talk to eBay motors- eBay motors said I needed to talk to eBay support. I would ask a question about the title and get 1 answer, then, I’d get an email saying something completely different. When they reached out via text, they didn’t reply for 2 or 3 days. When it came time to transport car, I received a whole set of instructions, saying it had to be done exactly as such, yet, when transporter arrived, he got a bad attitude, saying that’s not how it’s done! Buyer had similar issues. What should have been a very easy sale/process and taken a few days, took a few weeks because of eBay. Car sold last week and I got payment for sale. But, my eBay page has still not been updated showing receipt for final sale.

    In May of 2026, I was enticed by the seemingly high quality of a 1/18th scale model of a (Top Marques Ferrari 330 P4 1000KM Monza Winner #3 1967 Resin Limited Car) listed for sale as brand new, on eBay from a company in China for a price of $287.59 U.S. Dollars. I decided to take a chance and purchase it. Several weeks later, it arrived in a makeshift box which, at first glance, was not very impressive at all. Upon opening the box, the model car was inside another makeshift box with a lid on it. Inside that was only some paper as a protective measure.

    Looking at the model, it had a very nice paint job on it, and in general, it looked fairly nice. But I noticed that the "spare tire" in the rear that peeks out of the rear of the car was loose. That prompted my curiosity to unscrew the model from its presentation stand via screws that held the car to the stand, and then, once the model car was removed from the display stand, I unscrewed the chassis from the car body to see what, if anything, might be inside of it.

    Upon separating the body from the chassis, all four wheels were free to fall out. There was very poor workmanship revealed to me as I studied the inside of this model. It was all held together with a glue gun process. The various pieces of plastic inside were broken off the mold and not cut. The broken plastic was jagged, sharp, and very, very unprofessionally designed. There was only a light blue piece of plastic where some semblance of an engine should have been.

    The seller had the nerve to advertise this as being a "Collectors" model, if not in the direct advertising on eBay, at least he stated it to me in one of many messages that we had. Not what I had expected for the extremely high price that I paid for it. So, I returned it to the seller, and about two weeks later, he sent me a couple of photos showing ONLY the empty box without showing the model that was inside it. Clearly, an attempt to say that I sent him an empty box. Fraud at best on his part.

    A few days later, he told me he had to go back to his post office in China for some odd reason or other. Yet another stall tactic. Meanwhile, I had already contacted eBay and arranged for a full refund, which eBay said they would give me. The main reason for this contribution to the worldwide community of BUYERS is to WARN you against making any purchase from this seller in China. They are NOT up to Par with "Quality" and NOT up to Par with "Honesty." At least, that has been MY experience with this seller.

    Be warned. This model (and, I would assume, other models they sell) is NOT what they "appear" to be. They look nice, I will give them that much, but... the "Quality" leaves a LOT to be desired. Cheaply made, and just plain poor workmanship. The windshield wiper blade is not up against the windshield, but against the chassis, just a flat piece of some type of steel.

    A child's toy made in Japan in the 1950s is what this model is actually like "inside," where all the parts are. Look at the photos and see for yourself. What "appears" to look like a Spare Tire laying on its side in the rear is nothing more than a section of plastic with a semblance of a tire tread on the section that protrudes out the rear. No sign of ANYTHING resembling an "Engine" at all! Look at the axels. Cheap junk! And for almost Three Hundred Dollars? Thank goodness I got my refund. If it were not for eBay having my back, I know with 100% certainty that a refund would have NEVER been forthcoming.

      Everything was terrible! I got a car that was advertised as driving like it had 30,000 miles. I had to wait 2 weeks before it arrived. When it did arrive it didn't even work. Ebay said since it was over 10 years old they would do anything about it. I paid for registration and title through them and now over a month later they just sent my info to the DMV. I will never purchase a car through ebay ever again!!!

      I purchased complete strut and spring towers and sway bar links for an '05 Honda Civic. They sent me those parts but for a '05 Hyundai Elantra and I complained. They emailed me pictures of return labels that they claimed could be scanned by FedEx and return the parts and they would send me the correct parts but at FedEx they told me that they were unscannable. So I contacted eBay automotive and they sent more which were also unscannable. So I contacted them again, crickets. They basically gave me the runaround until the return time was passed and then just flat out ignored me, leaving me holding over $300 worth of parts that I can't use and nobody wants to buy. So I can't even get part of my money back.

      eBay may have not made the mistake. I'm positive that it was made by the company that was selling through eBay of course but eBay didn't enforce their guarantee of it being the right product or they'll make it right. If you want to take the chance of throwing your hard-earned money away do business with them. I've learned that you're better off just going to the parts store. Otherwise you are completely at their mercy and if they decide they don't want to deal with it they won't and there's nothing you can do about it

      I experienced getting either bad or more likely fraudulent Mfg OEM Mopar oil and fuel filters a while back. The customer service representative eventually hung up on me with myself getting any resolution from eBay. The eBay representative ( Ani) only suggestion was to do a dispute through my credit card company using the excuse the purchase was more than 30 days old, then as I continued to request that eBay should have the the intgrity to pursue the issue, the representative end the call abruptly.

Now they are asking for another $1000 for some type of customs taxes. No thank you. Now I am out of $1800. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAMMERS!

      Purchase a flex pipe for a 2010 Honda Accord, ad stated it was direct fit. Received item on time although it was an inch and a half shorter than the original. EBay will allow you to leave a good review immediately upon receipt but you must wait 7 days to leave a negative review. I will never use eBay Motors again. The seller offered for me to send the item back for a complete refund although that was not possible because I live alone it is my only vehicle and I had to cut and reweld the rear two exhaust hangers to make this item fit. You get what you pay for

      A total joke being run by a pathetic system that is fraudulent, not customer friendly, and falsifies suspensions without cause. They have offered zero information on how to resolve and for what reason my account was locked out. If you ever have the chance to visit their headquarters (I have) you will clearly see the problem. DEI punks that could care less about the customer. They hide behind the curtain like some kind of omnipotent god. I tried to list a Harley Davidson motorcycle but my account was suspended for some unknown reason. I believe their practices are discriminatory, malicious and likely in violation state and federal consumer protection laws. They also use a bogus vin number and plate number verification company that bounced the vin number for being false.

      I have Harley’s original documentation, an Illinois title from the previous owner and a current and clear title in Ohio. In the case of the Ohio title—the DMV personally confirmed the vin before converting from Illinois to Ohio. You cannot talk with anyone to resolve the issues—just mindless chat bots that circle round and round with BS responses. If this company was incorporated anywhere except California—they would have already been put out of business by the State AG. I have since listed the motorcycle on another site—it sold in less than 24 hours, and I have already been paid. AVOID AT ALL COST!

      I had high hopes but ebay motors is complete garbage. So to start I ordered 5 parts. The first 5 I messed up the address by not putting the apt letter. Because of this 3 packages got returned to sender, 1 package got delivered to a random apartment (which that person stole) and 1 was delivered successfully. I got my refund for 3 of the 4 items not delivered. I will take the fault for that since I made a typo. What I will not tolerate is that I reordered those 4 items. 2 items got delivered successfully, 1 got returned to sender, and 1 is missing. After trying to get a refund for both, I have not gotten a response. In fact one of the sellers doesn’t even have an option for a refund. So now I'm out 80 dollars from the original order, and these 2 orders that are missing/returned to seller.

      Mind you I fixed the issue of the apt letter this time and triple checked that the address was fine. I usually don’t write reviews unless the service was so trash that I have to warn others, or if the service was so good it blew my mind away. Unfortunately this is one of those cases which calls for a warning. STAY AWAY FROM EBAY MOTORS.

      I've been a long time buyer and seller of vehicles on eBay and just recently sold an antique CJ5 on there. From my personal experience eBay customer service has always taken care of any questions or concerns I've had timely and professionally. As a buyer you have built in protection from eBay and also the new to me escrow services add an extra layer of protection. What I value about eBay is the feedback system which tells you a lot about who you are dealing with. I recommend eBay to my family and friends and will continue to use their services myself.

      I ordered the wrong item and tried to cancel the purchase seconds after ordering, the customer rep keep telling me to click on a link but none ever existed. Either the rep didn't know what they were doing or it was a trick so they wouldn't possibly lose a sale. I personally think it was a scam to avoid a sale loss which really pissed me off. I will never order any more items from such a crappy company. (I only wanted to upgrade the purchase so you lost even more.)

      So I bought a 30,000 mile rebuilt titled Cadillac out of a dealer in Florida Discount Luxury Motors. I got a car that wasn’t as described! I received a title that can’t be transferred. It has been jumped from numerous dealers over and over on the back names crossed out. In fact, they had to cross out the last sale and then write my name over the top of it, the seller has never completed the sale, even though I contacted eBay, told them I had a receipt for a wire transfer. The card has been paid for. I had it in my possession. They won’t make the seller to complete the sale so I can leave negative feedback. I think they actually get extra money out of the seller for doing something like this.

      I have also complained to the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General in their state so when you read them reviews on eBay, don’t trust any of them, especially when eBay says they have a satisfaction guarantee on automobile purchases. They don’t highlight the point that if you have a rebuilt title, they won’t even guarantee that you get the same car.

Made an account and downloaded the app to my phone, just to get an email that they permanently banned/suspended my account due to suspicious activity all I’m trying to figure out is what type of suspicious activity what could I have done by downloading the app and making an account to raise suspicion? I just thought it was very inconsiderate and kind of childish, because they had all of my information, who gives their real contact information just to make an account for scamming or to do something illegal?

      eBay Motors author review by Miranda Weiss

      Cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles are available on this classic bidding site. You can either bid on a vehicle or, if available, buy at the set price. You can also look at satisfaction ratings to see if a seller has a history of satisfied customers and is legitimate. Daily deals on car parts and other accessories also provide opportunities for savings.

      • Bidding process: You can bid on the vehicles on eBay Motors, just like you can on the rest of the eBay site. If you are the highest bidder, the car is yours. Otherwise, keep bidding.

      • Vehicles and car parts available: eBay Motors also sells motorcycle, truck and other vehicle parts. Bid and sell on car parts just like you would for any other item on the eBay site.

      • Vehicle protection program: eBay Motors can protect purchases of up to $50,000. If you pay for a vehicle but never receive it, or accidentally pay for a stolen vehicle, then the purchase protection will go into effect.

      • Available mobile app: A companion mobile app is available for users who want to access eBay Motors from their phone. Here, you can search and bid on cars, just like you can on the website.

      • Daily deals on vehicle essentials: eBay Motors has a Daily Deals section where you can browse bargain offerings on car care essentials, accessories and garage or shop equipment.
