Same old Scammer on e-bay

[ddub]

I saw the black 53 Champion hot rod listed with a Seattle zip code as the location. I wrote and told him I lived nearby and would like to look at the car. Here is his reply:

Hello,
Where are you from?
First of all I must inform you that I'm located in Austria.
I recently moved here with my job and I had the intention to take
the car here with me, but I discovered that it is very hard to
register a US car here and the taxes are very high. Not to mention
that here the gasoline is much more expensive. So, unfortunately, I
had to leave the car in the US.

The price is $7,400. The car is in excellent condition, no rust, no
technical or cosmetically problems. It has no scratches on and hasn't
been involved in an accident. The motor runs very well.The car was
always garaged. The car is still US registered and the title is clear.

The delivery will take between 12 and 15 business days (with
insurance and 30 days return policy). I will pay for the shipping! If
the car does not matches 100% the description, you will return it in
maximum 30 days and I will pay for the return shipping fees.
Payment will be made through eBay so we can be both protected!

If you are interested please let me know. I have reserved the car
for you, but I will need your answer in the next couple of days.

Thank you,
Tony

Sure sounds like a good deal to me, do you think there is a catch?

They are busy today...just reported the 53 Black Champion that
sold late in May or early June for $74,000.00 + and the green
1950 Starlight Coupe that has come and gone to many times.

This car appears periodically, with "off-e-bay" transactions only, i.e. no bidding and no protection through e-bay. Last time it was "Wire the money to Budapest... I'm there on temporary assignment"

I don't know how to let e-bay know about this, but maybe someone else can.
