Hi Steve! Thanks!
Those MF****have large and ingenious scams. I've made a complaint to Ebay and am waiting for time to open a case to return the item for sale.
This may also serves as a warning to all those working with Ebay.
Stay safe!

It certainly looks likem a scam; forward the emails to Paypal and ebay and see what they say.

Pedro if your first impression is to wonder if somethings wrong in any transaction then get out right away far too risky

This is a well known Nigerian scam usually used on cars, someone tried it on me a couple of years ago, they usually use Western Union because once the trasfer notice is recieved and you release the goods they can still stop the actual payment from going through, very dodgy. Look it up online, McIntyre did a programme on it in the UK a few years ago may be online somewhere.
