If you go to their web site and search, there are barely any cars for sale there.  No one would shop there.  EVERYONE is told that she has two buyers for their car, but NO ONE has ever heard from the buyers after they pay their money!!!  She wants to price mine $1,500 higher, but I can't sell it at the lower price.  
She is just preying on people who have had their vehicles listed for a long time, hoping they are desparate enough to get ripped off at the thought of two "approved" buyers.

Real true frickin scam do not go along with this crap.  I got ripped off and am currently filing a lawsuit just out of principal and plan to shut them down!!

Recieved a call from Ava claiming she had two interested preapproved buyers for my vehicle.

Received call from "Ava" from forsalebyowner-autos claiming to have 2 preapproved buyers and wants to sell my car for $1000 more than I am asking.  She sent me an email with the terms and conditions, but the refund policy requires me to mail back a form to a Canadian address.  Her email also is from Hotmail and not the company's name.  She wanted my credit card and I told her I needed to see the agreement and I would call her back.  Then I did a search and found out about the scam.

Ava called. I committed to $169 with a 30 day guarantee.  Visa Purchase (non-pin) One World Importesquimalt Bc         $182.83 ... The amount she told me is not the same amount taken from my account. They did take the money from my account. Ava's message, which I have saved, mentioned the reason for her call was she had 2 buyers in the St. Cloud area interested in purchasing my car. I have not heard from either one. I sent an email to Ava requesting follow through. I have only been scammed once before, however I did find them ... :)

So did you or anyone commit to the $169 30-day sale guarantee refund from them yet ?  Who was your 'agent' ?  Plz check out their website and let me know. THANKS MUCH.  

This lady sounds so professional and nice and seems to work in 'her office 7 days a week'.  I asked why 'her company site' http://www.forsalebyowner-autos.com/index.php would not have c/c payment option & she said it would not be safe then I told her every business site has that hack safe feature then she said they will work on it very soon..?

"The Private Seller Classified Network has grown greatly since its induction in 2003. We have set a proven benchmark in auto selling innovation with our creative marketing concepts. The "Private Seller" approach to profile listings is also far more easier for buyers to find the right vehicle to suit their needs as most buyers feel overwhelmed by the presence of dealer ads and the actual thought of having to deal with a dealer when wanting to purchase a vehicle. What we do as a company is; Through direct marketing and advertising we try and find buyers from every corner of the United States & also the United Kingdom. We offer a house financing service to go along with a bad credit loan resource to maximize the amount of clients we receive. All clients wishing to receive an auto loan with us are required to choose a vehicle that suits their needs that is listed on our website ONLY. We constantly search seller ads to meet the needs of our financed clients as our website contains only a select amount of seller's profiles that have been directly requested as a vehicle of interest by the client. This service has a 95% sell through rate for the selected sellers and a 98% buy percent by every pre-financed buyer. We currently have 30 offices in operation including one in Europe and will have 3 more in the United States by 2008. "

They claim they can sell your car for $169.00 within one week.  They claim to even have buyers ready.
