The auction should be cancelled. No one, even non-board members should have to deal with this BS.

It's a nice car and someone could get it for a hell of a good price and EBay Purchase Protection covers it.

But, is the odometer rollback the only issue? That is the real question. Who wants to deal with criminals anyway?

Situations for Which Protection is Offered

VPP offers protection only for losses associated with eligible transactions for qualifying vehicles in the following situations:

You pay for a vehicle and never receive it.
You send a refundable deposit for a vehicle and never receive it.
You pay for a vehicle and receive it but suffer losses because:
1. The vehicle was determined by a law enforcement agency to have been stolen at the time of the end of the listing.
2. The vehicle has an undisclosed or unknown lien against its title.
3. The vehicle make, model or year is different than what was described in the seller's listing at the time you placed your bid or offer.
4. A title is required for the vehicle by your state and the seller's state but you did not receive a title from the seller and it is not possible to obtain a title from the appropriate DMV.
5. The vehicle has a title with an undisclosed salvage, rebuilt/rebuildable, unrebuildable, reconstructed, scrapped/destroyed, junk, lemon, manufacturer buyback, or water damage brand at the time of the end of the listing. (This protection is not available for vehicles listed in the Dune Buggies, Race Cars or Trailers categories.)
6. The vehicle is less than 20 years old and has more than a 5,000 mile odometer discrepancy from the mileage as stated in the seller's listing. (This protection is only available for vehicles listed in the Cars & Trucks and RVs & Campers categories.)
  
  In addition, the VPP also provides protection against certain undisclosed damage for vehicles that are less than 10 years old:
7. The vehicle had undisclosed engine, body, transmission, and/or frame damage at the time of purchase that will cost more than $1,000 to repair. The cost of repair to any one of those components must exceed $1,000. For vehicles in the Boats (engine and hull only), Buses, Commercial Trucks, and RVs & Campers categories, the cost of the undisclosed engine, body, transmission, or frame damage must exceed $1,500. Race Cars are not eligible for this protection.
