It looks too big for a normal utility to me. Looks like it would need a truck or large van type traytop. Has a postage charge of $3500 which is strange and the price below says $6999. Looks home made. You would have to look at it to know I think.

It looks to me that the actual price is $7,000. The price has been halved to save themselves eBay fees as you don't pay fees on postage.
Also, you never pay by paypal for any vehicle or associated items as it could be a scam.

Too long for a regular ute tray which is 8 feet. Looks home made, and I'd be worried about the wiring. I think you'd need to be a handyman type and inspect it in person before making a commitment. The price is confusing too.

If it looks to good to be true it usually is. Where is the shower and toilet? A big price for something that looks like it needs a lot of work.
Be very careful.

Just be really carful regarding this type of advertisement.
The scammers get on these type of forums as a visitor just to see what people are looking out to buy
they when they get a feel of who wants what they just set up a bogus add, this is how the people in Melbourne not long back got scammed out of thousands of dollars.It was on one of those current affair shows showing how they operate.
These poor people who get scammed all got scammed over the one caravan that this crook did not even own.
He just got hold of a photo of someones van and posted it on line.
The sad part is these half a dozen people will never see their $15.000 each they lost.

That's why it's very important you never pay with PayPal or even before you have seen and checked out the vehicle. Only pay the money once you have done all the checks including ownership and money still oweing.

I don,t find anything wrong with Paypal as you are ensured toget your money back, even though it takes time. I keepmy eyes on feed back, and try to get a look before paying, which is not always possible on Ebay.This seller has low feedback , and a strange way of doing thing. Beware. Bill

Only for vehicles Bill. They even warn you in the eBay rules.
I use PayPal all the time with no problems.

I've seen some ridiculously cheap motorhomes/caravans on Gumtree as well that seem to be scams at times.

I've got some great bargains thru ebay and gumtree, frequently use Paypal with no problems (nothingis totally secure), but I wouldn't pay anything to a private individual for a vehicle or van etc without an inspection, including proof of ownership. Nevertheless I bought my grey import HiAce from a dealer in Sydney sight unseen, and have no complaints. I googled the dealer first and did as much research on them as I could. Didn't use Paypal in that transaction, made a direct transfer, and no doubt would have had no hope of getting that refunded either if it had been a scam.

Well commonsense tells us to be careful with any big purchase.
I would not buy sight unseen either.
I paid for my camper with a bank cheque.
I put that slide on up because i thought it was a scam.
the seller is not putting all the questions asked up either

You're right Dawa, it does look fishy.

I've just learnt all about Shawn the Sheep, having to watch kids tv with my 22 month old grandson. I can even get excited when it comes on. Think I've been with the kids too long. lol
