First, I've never heard of an Ebay Motors account where you put money into it for deposits. The only financial transaction site Ebay approves of is Paypal. Seeing that he never once mentions Paypal, but some made up Ebay Motors site, I'm sure he'll send you a link to some official looking Ebay Motors site, but it'll route the money strait to his offshore bank account.

Second, why would he have the car in a sea/land container at a shipping company? The only reason to do that is if it's going overseas somewhere. If he's saying that he'll ship the car to you to inspect and if you don't like it he'll have it shipped back to the warehouse says scam. Since the car is in it's own sea/land container, it'll have to be shipped by 18-wheeler from the warehouse to your house. Since the truck can only carry one container at a time, the cost involved depending on distance from your house to ship the container to you and back could be more than the value of the car itself. So the seller is going to throw away thousands so you can inspect the car? Or, is he saying you have to pay for the shipping? Then you'd be on the hook for thousands of dollars for shipping alone. Total scam.
