Ebay Car Sales - Feedback concern?

I purchased a car from Ebay this week a local seller, the car is being delivered tomorrow (I hope). The seller seemed to be a genuine bloke and his ebay feedback was excellent.

What is concerning is that I paid a cash deposit for the car with the remaining balance being paid when the car is delivered tomorrow. However the car is still for sale on Ebay because the car was paid for by cash I presume that I will not be able to leave feedback for the car and this is probably the case for most vehicles sold on ebay with a cash sale. So the excellent feedback rating from the seller is a bit deceiving with car sales, or am I missing something?

Hopefully the car will turn up tomorrow.

    Yes luckily the car did turn up and everything was fine. I found out that classified car sales through Ebay are not subject to feedback.

    So if anyone is considering purchasing a car through Ebay on classified listings, ignore the sellers feedback rating.
