One day sale? Same pic? UK shipped from US? Previous sales delivery extra, free on this one? A personal email link, not good at all, an ebay violation by itself. Buy it now on a one day sale?? Free shipping, then states email for shipping terms? Previous auctions had the standard buy it now option, not this one. Complete change in auction appearance. Very bad sign. I've done a LOT of buying and selling on ebay. I would talk to this guy on the phone asap. I would contact him throught the link in the description and also use ebays contact seller. It may be 2 different email addresses and two different people!

Use the "get contact info." The real sellers phone number should be listed.

Then, you ought to be able to sniff it out. I would contact ebay about all the above detials before sending any money.

It is possible that someone hijacked anothers site. I have reported, correctly to ebay many bogus keyboard auctions. What I see here has ALL the red flags. Every one I reported was removed by ebay.

But then again, it's possible you lucked out. But, to be honest, I don't believe it by a long shot, unless a different family member or business partner did the ad and had no previous experience.

If paid for with a postal money order, you have some protection, in that if it's a bad deal the feds will pursue the guy.

I wish you luck.

Scott
