This is a bit misleading.

Nothing you describe is because of it being an eBay purchase. The
Vanagon might just as well have been found by word of mouth,
craigslist, or autofinder.

Auto "auctions" on eBay are completely different than other eBay
auctions - winning an auto on eBay is not a binding contract for the
buyer, a buyer can legitimately back out after inspecting the vehicle.
