All E-bay does is connect the buyer and seller. There is no legally
binding
contact via E-bay. You get together with the seller and sign a basic sales
contract (at least you should!) contingent on sea trial, survey, and
financing, etc. Go from there.


That's not true in the UK where winning an auction creates a legally binding
contract.

OK, but not between eBay and the buyer, just between the buyer and
seller. It's a great difference, because you cannot i.e. sue eBay - they
only give a platform to connect the parties and nothing more. They of
course try to do it as good as they can, so they give some options to
secure the transaction, but it's still a thing between two individuals.
