Last week, a couple from my hometown were arrested for selling low mileage, high dollar cars on eBay with new odometers from junkyards showing very low miles. They bilked over a hundred people before they were caught. Looks like some serious prison time ahead for them, but no restitution for the poor buyers who were duped.
Two years ago, I bought a 94 900S Convert on ebay, advertised as a Comm Ed, but ended up just an OK 900. I paid too much, but learned a lot. About the same time, bought an 88 900TC with 33K miles on ebay, which turned out to be a very nice car from an estate. I was dumb because I wired the money for both cars, I was lucky because I didn't get taken. Now I know better.
Just like all relationships, it depends on how honest the person is because pictures and odometers can lie. There are probably many honest people selling cars on eBay, it is difficult to tell from a distance and that's what the dishonest ones are counting on.
