Here's our conversation so far:


Dear mimeslayer,

I'm interested in buying more than one unit. Let me know if you have more available.

To view the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4132363750

Thank you,
xxxxxxxx

Yes, I currently have 8 in stock. If you?re interested, I can give you a price and shipping quote based on the amount you need.


Thanks for your interest!

Ok, give me a quote for all 8 with shipping to 92626 with UPS 2nd day. Thanks


(At this point, I was already suspicious.)

I'll take the 8 units that you have in stock. I need them asap, if you can ship on monday will be fine. Also do you consider using an escrow service ? I usually work with for-traders.com . Let me know if this it's ok with you.



Thanks

You?ve used For-Traders.com? I?ve heard of people who have been ripped off using other escrow services. This one looks pretty legit? what do you think of them?

I had quite a number of fine transactions using them. They proved to be serious. Check them, and if it's ok with you, register and we can begin the transaction. Let me know.




I'm still doing research on For-Traders.com. I'll let you know what I find.

I?m trying to sign up with For-Traders, but it?s not sending the confirmation email. I?ll try it again later? unless there are any other escrow services you would like to use?

Also, did you want to process this transaction through eBay, or just skip them for this? Personally, it doesn?t matter to me either way. If I can save a few bucks in eBay fees, I wouldn?t mind =).

ITry e-mailing them at their customer support service. They should clear the problem. Also, I have no problem if you decide not to make a listing on eBay and save some money. Please reply




How nice of him!
