DNJ, Mike, and all,
I do not know yet what to say about this as it is not a totally done deal yet.
The money end was handled through paypal.
It has not yet been claimed by the sellers paypal account, which is strange. none of this transaction went anywhere except the ebay sellers paypal account, and is as yet unclaimed. The extra listed email account in the auction has nothing to do with paypals pay for it now button.
I did not do anything through that e-mail.

There is no way of knowing, just by looking, if the previous ended auctions with the free shipping are by the same seller, or why they were closed or by who.
None of those auctions state anything about "Buy it now" as Scott says.
I appreciate Scotts concern but all of the facts he states are not true. And his reply being the most foreboding (With only best intentions I'm sure) I feel it is overly biased almost witch-hunt-like.

This may well end up being a no-sale, and I appreciate all concerns, continue to feel free to state them.
I am taking all the safeguards I can.
I will let all know of any developments but they may not be real quick in coming.
Thank you all,
OldNewb

PS. definitely wont give up my 2100 until a 3000 arrives
