Here is what I found on ebay forums:

Same known scam: The seller posted a listing and advised to contact him before bidding. I contacted the seller and the listing disappeared from Ebay within hours. I requested pictures and a phone number, so we can discuss details over the phone. I never received a phone call or even the sellers phone number. He was evasive to all my questions and ensured me that everything would be handled thorugh the Ebay Vehicle Protection Program and that he would pay for shipping. If I am not satisfied with the car, he would even pay for the shipping back to him. We started the transaction and he mailed me 3 very offical looking emails with creative we stole from the Ebay Vehicle Protection Program. I almost got fooled, but I noticed that the funds were to be transferred to an account in Canada, to an account that is held by "Zoard's Transportation". I got very suspicious about this and started to investigate. I noticed that the 3 fake Ebay emails were sent from a domain "vehicle-protection-program.com. THis domain is held by Omega Star GmbH and not Ebay or an affiliate. Which made me even more suspicious. Later that day I received a email notification that the Canadian account that i was supposed to trasnfer my funds to was "over the limit" and that instead I should trasnfer the funds to an account in Hungary. I know of many other people that were advised in various similar scams to transfer funds to an Hungarian account.
