1. Jeff Says: from what I read its a scam can yahoo shed some light on this process.
2. Kittysue Says: 100% SCAM

Yahoo has NO way to accept payments. Anyone wanting you to use "yahoo finance" or "yahoo vehicle protection" or whatever else they call it is a SCAM. Yahoo NEVER accepts payments for any reason. Yahoo does not hold vehicles. They do not ship vehicles. They do not allow you to inspect vehicles

ANYBODY who will not allow you to see the car in person, test drive and show your their drivers license has the same name as on the car title before you agree to buy is a SCAM. ANYBODY who mentions shipping for any reason is a scam.
3. just call me Buzz Says: Total Scam!

I do want to point out that not ALL offers to ship a vehicle are scams.

I am a Franchise dealer, in business 73 years and I sell at least 4 units a month, sight unseen, accept payment and arrange transport, on EBAY.

Don't need to shed any light on it. It's a scam.
5. whata waste Says: you can't pay yahoo for anything, yes this is a scam. never buy anything without seeing it in person
6. STEWIE Says: No sh*t Sherlock, of course it's a scam.

buy then you already knew that, so why even ask?
