Perfectly legal through the credit card "chargeback" system.
If you aren't satisfied with your purchase, the credit card will issue a chargeback and get you your money back. You get to keep whatever you bought.
I had an issue several years ago where I bought a model railroad locomotive on ebay. Nothing was said in the description about it being non-functional, or sold as-is. It was described as being in quite good condition. When I got it, it was junk.
When I called the seller, they basically thumbed their noses at me and said, "ha ha you got screwed," so I went to the credit card company. I described the situation, and they asked me to write a letter and fill out a form. I asked if I should send the item back, and they said no, keep it as proof of the fraudulent transaction.
Shortly after I got my money back, the seller disappeared from the face of the earth. Turns out they'd screwed several people on ebay and finally decided to cut and run.
The problem is, a dishonest buyer can turn the system around on an honest seller...
Still, it seems like an awful lot of work to go through to screw someone out of a parts tractor... At most the tractor's worth a few hundred in scrap, and they probably spent that much trucking it home.
