I have never tried it.

Thank you Kaleb and all the others who replied to this question, yet nobody
mentioned anything about escrow service!
Is it because nobody tried it yet or because it does not offer the
protection claimed!?
Thank you all,
Omar.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] I need your help on how to finalize a vehicle purchase on
eBay!
When I bought my SDL it was on ebay, made a deal outside of ebay and
seller ended auction. It was in colorado and I sent postal money orders
to the seller, he overnighted the title, and I had the car shipped back.
Yes, very risky but it worked out just fine.

Hello Listers,
I am enlisting the help of all of you who bought cars through the web,
especially eBay.
I agree with others who have voiced their opinion. I have yet to buy a
car via eBay, personally. But I've bid on a few. I made sure all of
them were close enough to see without too much trouble. You'll see me
gripe quite a bit about Seattle being 2,274 miles away and across a
desert from Indianapolis. Lot's of good stuff from out there, it
seems.
Either way, I would never buy anything that requires government
intervention (ie title) and licensing via Money Order and UPS. Even if
you don't drive it back and you do contract a hauler to bring it to
you, you should go to the car, check it before you pay, and take the
title directly from Previous Owner.
If it isn't what was represented in the ad, I wouldn't pay for it
either. Sure it will really annoy the PO, but if the thing is sitting
on blocks and has rust in every panel of sheet metal and the pics on
the website are from 5 years ago when it was still running, better to
find out before you have the title signed over to you.
