Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Its seem like I'm not the only one. I like others found a car on Craigslist.com for sale for $2850 which was a 2003 Ford Explorer. I asked if that was the actually selling price and I got a respond back confirming it. I then sent an email letting this person know that I wanted to purchase the car and how to go about getting it. She then told me all the steps and that it was going to be done through e-bay vehicle protection program. When I first saw ebay vehicle protection program and read the terms and conditions I just knew it was legit. So then I proceded to send the money through western union and was told that once the payment was confirmed the car will be delivered in 3 day. Have I received my car yet? NO! I have sent numerous of emails to both the "ebay representative" and "Suzane Larsson" and no response. I feel very stupid to believe that it was true. If anyone is willing to help me get my money back or let me know what actions I need to take to get my money back please let me know. I am a single mom, and $2900 is too much money to be throwing away.

you sent the money "outside" of ebay to save ebay fee's

therefor ebay is not responsible, this is a problem with you and seller both trying to scam, you trying to "scam" ebay out of fee's and the seller trying to scam you out of money

 

ebay does not work western union, ebay is paypal , this and other warnings are clerly listed on ebay auction site, numerious warnings NOT to send anyone money "outside" of ebay's controls

you have no recourse, aside from setting a trap to seller and catching them yourself, punishment to follow the jig-saw movies?

Basically you may have lost your money to "Suzane Larsson" if that is the name actual person that you have sent your money to.  Talk to a lawyer may be they might find a way.  By the way why would you wire money to an unknown person.  What you can do now is use this as an expensive lesson.  Next time only buy from trusted source and pay with credit card if something happens they can get your money back.  Basically you did not purchase the car from ebay nor does their policy apply to yours...
