    Hi all
    Recently seen a horse lorry for sale in England. I'm in Ireland. Contacted the seller and he only wants to sell through eBay because of there buyer protection. I've never bought anything of this kind on eBay so just wondering about concerns it what to look out for.?

    Cheers

    Answer is obvious really. There's no issue making the purchase through eBay provided you've inspected and test-driven the lorry and checked that all the paperwork is in order prior to bidding.

    Basically do all the ground-work you'd normally do for a cash purchase.

    There are loads of mobile mechanics in UK I usually get one of them to give it the once over before committing to buy..just search google Mobile mechanic(....area needed...) And you should find a few usually costs 40-50stg

    Strange that he'd only want to sell through eBay for buyer protection. You'd think someone would want to sell it for cash so they have more protection e.g. the buyer of the lorry sets up a dispute on eBay.

    I'd be careful sending that much through Paypal if thats how he's looking for payment before you collect. I'd only agree to it if you could go over and make the payment on eBay while collecting the lorry.
