This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I already reported it to ebay, but don't know what they can do. "Buyer" has a ebay score of 0, and is in Singapore! My reply:
"NO. This sounds like a scam, and I wasn't born yesterday. Someone already tried to do this to me a couple months ago, and I almost got took, but the alleged check for several thousand dollars never came to me. I had to relist item, costing me more money than necessary. If you are serious, you will click buy it now, and use PayPAl ONLY. If this is not a scam, please accept my apology, but if it isn't you will understand that it sounds like one. Please do NOT respond to this. Sincerely..."
I should have put in how his/her spelling and grammer SUCK...but I didn't.
