Since Ebay has started listing cars years ago everyone has become a flipper. I have zero problem with this and on occasion have done this myself. Problem is the majority of these cars are not being sold with the title in the sellers name.

I purchased a car a couple years ago and could never get it registered because it was never signed off by the owners name on the title. It was a State that req'd it be signed in front of a Notary. I also got screwed once with the same situation but at my own fault attempted to register after I restored it. Big $$$$ lesson in life.

I have recently again tried to buy a car off Ebay and asked if the title was clear and in sellers name. The response was a definite yes! It wasn't and the Seller couldn't understand why I would not accept title since it was just never filled out by him.

DMV'S have gotten a lot stricter even with older cars. Even Broadway Title won't touch most old stuff without tons of paperwork anymore. Am I the only one that thinks Ebay should make it mandatory for sellers to prove ownership of a vehicle they are selling. Some States require a registration instead on a Title but again it is same proceedure. Every State that I know of makes it mandatory to have titled or registered in YOUR name or you do not have ownership.

There are then guys who will post for parts only. This is also illegal unless you have a salvage license. I can't understand why dealers who pay for licenses don't force EBAY into this???

This is 2010 and the old walk into DMV with a signed napkin doesn't cut it anymore.
