I emailed a person about a car add on Facebook, 2003 Toyota truck for $1000. She says if I giver her my name and address that eBay has a service to drop the car off and let me check it out for 5 days before committing to buy. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

That sounds too good to be true, how would they get the car to you, towing it would be expensive if thats how, $1000 is a good price for a truck though, once my step dad sold a car to some guy for $200, the transmission was on the way out, he told the guy it might last a week it might last a year, who knows

Never heard of that unless it's some brand new thing in some cities. It sounds shady. Plus I don't think any worth while Toyota trucks go for that cheap unless the engine is blown and the frame is rusting out. I looked into them and they seem to hold value pretty good. I would be careful with the sounds of that

Known scam. Do not interact with them any further. No such program exists.

Shipping programs exists, but there is no program to test drive a vehicle and send it back when you don't like it. If they are selling off site and saying they'll use eBay as a service that's a huge red flag.
If it's actually listed on eBay you have buyer protection and can use eBay to mediate. Otherwise avoid like the plague.

Yes
" Thank you very much for getting back to me ,I would like to clarify some things first. For the next 2 weeks I will be stationed in-Hill-Air-Force-Base in Utah,making final preparations for deployment. I left the vehicle at Logistics Department ready for delivery.I don`t really need it so I`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible that`s why I`m selling it so cheap, the shipping is paid. You get free delivery, at your place in 3 days with all the papers.I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the vehicle. If you won`t like my vehicle you notify eBay and you send it back on my expense. But I assure you it won't be the case.
If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name, delivery address and phone number so I can start the transaction with them and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction. ( with no further obligation or fees) "
