Winston …
you are about to be SCAMMED!!
the "i'm in Sweden (choose any country) but you will be protected" is the biggest line of BS to come down the pike!
let me guess. he sent you all this info in an email?
did he also tell you that the safest way to pay is WESTERN UNION?
this is a SCAM from the word go!
report the emails and the seller to ebay!
don't fall for this or you will regret it!
we see it every day on Trust and Safety!

My buddy got scammed on a vehicle and he lost $1500.He was also pretty gullible and actually sent this guy $1500 through Western Union which is a big NO NO in Ebay!

Do you not have any common sense? The other 50,000 who did this and got scammed probably thought it was safe too.
Yeah ebay has a program that refunds your money but it costs $100 to apply and it's a major hassle and the scammer still got your money.
DO NOT PURCHASE CARS UNLESS YOU CAN FEEL IT, RIDE IT, DRIVE IT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS and saved 4000 dollars but i bought it near where I live. it took me about 6 months to find a decent one though. its a gamble know that.
