EBENSBURG, Pa. - Ebensburg Auto Auction Sales Inc, which lists its address as 3347 New Germany Rd, Ebensburg, PA 15931, is a scam. A buyer reported wiring $27,600 by bank wire for the 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 shown in a listing and receiving no equipment.
A late model Kubota with only 18 hours and a full asking price paid up front matters to equipment buyers because wires settle quickly and reversals are difficult. The combination of a low-hour tracked skid steer, extensive features and a paid in full transfer left the buyer exposed when the machine never showed.
The listing
The listing on ebensburg-auction.com advertised a 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 tracked skid steer loader. The seller's description lists 18 hours on the meter, a Kubota V3307-CR-T-EF04 3.3L four-cylinder diesel engine, hydrostatic transmission with two-speed travel, an enclosed cab with air conditioning and heat, hand bucket control, auxiliary hydraulics, an auxiliary electrical outlet and a hydraulic quick coupler.
The posted configuration included a 75 inch Land Pride bucket with a weld-on cutting edge and bolt-on teeth, Bridgestone rubber tracks with 15 inch width and the site asked $27,600. In the seller's terms the machine was presented as a highly versatile tracked skid steer loader in very low hours, which is what made it attractive to a prospective buyer.
How the sale unfolded
According to the buyer's account, they found the SVL75-2 listing while shopping for a compact tracked loader and compared it against other available machines. The buyer said the machine's year, the 18 hours showing on the meter and the listed equipment package made it stand out among similar ads.
The buyer reported contacting the operator through the contact details on the listing and moving forward with the purchase at the asking price. The buyer sent $27,600 by bank wire to complete the transaction as they understood it.
After the transfer was made, the buyer said they awaited delivery or pickup instructions and did not receive the machine. The buyer said attempts to resolve the matter through the channels provided by the site did not result in delivery of the loader.
Ultimately, a buyer reported wiring $27,600 for the 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 on ebensburg-auction.com and receiving no equipment. The wire left the buyer without the paid machine.

How these schemes work
Fraud guidance for equipment buyers warns that ads for recent machines with very low hours, full advertised prices and requests for full payment ahead of inspection are common features of scam listings. Brand-new domains and listings posted shortly after registration are another frequent indicator that a buyer has limited recourse if a paid machine never appears.
In this case the domain was created on Sept. 30, 2026 and the listing offered a 2022 Kubota with 18 hours for $27,600. A buyer who transferred the full asking price by wire encountered the vulnerabilities those patterns describe when the loader did not arrive.
