To clarify: Yahoo Auto Web site did all they said they would do. I didn't sell my car, but that's not Yahoo's fault. I have no complaints about Yahoo Auto.
However, it is a scammer's play gorund--beware. Below is the latest twist on transfer of funds to purchase a car---don't fall for it.

Just an FYI, I have also received an e-mail regarding the car that I am selling on Yahoo Autos, my e-mail is from a Martin Bank but he shares the same address as this Duncan Wagner. He is apparently a procurement agent from England who's client is buying a car for a cousin in Canada that just got married. Is this just a scam for money? Do they actually want the car? How should I handle this? Please, someone tell me. . . thanks (heatherpere1998@yahoo.com)

Shauna there is no doubt in my mind now, here is a copy of what I got from him:
Greetings
Thanks for your response.I am a procurement agent
based in England and my client whom i am representing
is also in England. My client informed me that he is
buying the car to present as a gift to the cousin who
recently married in Canada . This means that the car
will be shipped to Canada.
THE PRICE IS FIRM AT $7,200 USD..CONFIRM
Attach at least three recent pics( include the
interior) of the vehicle so that i will foward it to
my client for evaluation,The pics will make my
discussion with the buyer easier and faster.
Hope all the documents are complete...?
Any accident history......?
Are you the first owner of the vehicle.....?
Why do you want to sell the vehicle....?
My client is responsible for my commission,shipping
and any handling bills.
Looking foward to hearing from you soon so that we can
proceed with the transaction.
Regards
Martin Bank.

This is a scam. I'm just glad that I found this site, although I know enough to not have opened an account and given the information to someone else. I'm just mad because we really do want to sell this car. Well, good luck selling yours.

I too have just heard from this Martin Bank with the same addy, with the same story about a gift for a cousin in Canada, so I'm willing to bet it IS definitely a scam. I'll paste the most recent message I received from him just tonight:
