Buying from ebay is no different from buying a car normally (classified ad, craigslist, forum post). Buying from ebay just connects you with the seller (private party or dealer). Ebay is not involved at all. You need to workout the purchase between you and seller. Either party can backout or change the terms.

1) One way to do it would be you and seller go to your bank and get a cashiers check for the amount. This will give the seller confidence that your cashier's check is real. If out of state you may need to get a bank account with a major national bank.
2) Then you both go to the DMV and do the title transfer and the seller takes the cashiers check. if it's out of your state then maybe skip the DMV and do whatever your state requires to transfer the title (signed title, bill of sale, any notarized requirements, etc).
3) Take possession of the car.
There is always some trust required so if something seems off then it probably is.

My friend and I purchased a S2000 few years back on eBay without seeing it in person. We felt comfortable purchasing because we spoke with the seller/dealer (small dealer) directly over the phone multiple times. They addressed all of our questions and concerns, they also had over 100% seller feedback with over 150 feedbacks.
Seller feedback and communication is important.
Our bank wired the money to the seller. Car was parked at the airport Valet for us, all paperwork except title was present bc dealer had to transfer it to his name still. We took it to Secretary of State aka DMV. Painless process
