Browsing ebay I found a listing for something I wanted to buy, and in the description the seller stated he had extra ones that he would be selling. I sent him an e-mail stating that I would like one and inquiring about the legitimacy of everything, and he sent me an invoice through ebay / square trade. It has an invoice number on it .. and everything on the invoice insures buyer satisfaction and protection, but how do I know if the invoice is a fake? The individual claims there is a problem with his paypal account and will only accept a money order through western union. [for this reason, i asked for the transaction to go through ebay .. and asked about paypal but he said it would not work for him]

I have a copy of the invoice but on the square trade website I can't find anything to put an invoice number and try to verify it is a legit invoice... Any help is greatly appreciated!

and fyi - i know if i think it's wrong i probably shouldn't do it .. but if everything is guaranteed then there's no reason not to go for it, which is why i'm trying to verify everything! thanks again!

Square Trade is not an escrow service. If that is truly what the seller is wanting to do, use a real escrow service like Escrow.com
