has replied to my mail about a phoney mercedes 230sl… here;
Hello,
The Benz is still available. Sorry for my late reply,but I am currently in Hungary as I just moved here,my mother is Hungarian and I decided to settle here after my divorce.The movement and accomodation process took longer than I expected but after a while I managed to sort things out.
The car I am selling is flawless,accident free,full history service,great tires, no flood or scratches,hpi clear.My car is a british model,right hand drive,it was bought when I was living in the UK and it still has UK registration.
The price I want for it is just 7200 pounds.
All documents, including owner’s manual, clear title and bill of sale will be sent along with the car.
I suggest that we close this deal using the security provided for such transactions by the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection.
Please email me back soon and let me know if you are interested.
Sorry to hear about your divorce, your ex sounds like a fool. But look at the bright side, you get to see your mother all the time now (I bet her cooking is better too).
This car is exactly what I’ve been looking for! My father died recently and I plan to use my inheritance to buy this car and drive my father’s ashes to our favourite bull ring in Spain (my father could spot a good bull a mile away). However I wonder if it would be possible to have the car shipped to St.Etienne in France? I was hoping to start my journey from our ski chalet there. I would be happy to pay for the shipping cost and your trouble. Please let me know if you are interested?

I guess the auction has ended on Ebay , please let me know how to proceed with payment.
There is one thing - I wonder if it would be possible to have the car shipped to St.Etienne in France? I was hoping to start my journey from our ski chalet there. I would be happy to pay for the shipping cost and your trouble. Please let me know if you are interested?
I’m sorry about your father. If we come to an agreement the car will be delivered directly to your home address and the cost for that and for the insurance will be included in the initial sale price.
The payment will be sent to eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection via bank transfer and after you receive and inspect the car,they will be release the funds to me. The transaction will be fully under their surveillance, giving us both security and insurance that nothing will go wrong. They are acting as a third,objective party involved in this transaction. They will also handle the shipping.
When the car arrives you have 2-15 days to see and test it which way you like. Within this period you have to decide if you purchase it or not.
If you decide to take it you will have to contact eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection and let them know that so that they can release the payment to me. If you won’t like it you will have to send it back to me within the inspection period and eBay will refund you. The shipping back will be done on my own expense.
Please get back to me asap and let me know if you agree with this.
Kind regards, Muhammad

Dear Muhammad,
great - no problem. How do I contact eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection ? I want to get this rolling very soon as I want to surprise my wife.
No, no. What you want to do is say you want to pay by cheque. Then put the “cheque” in a large parcel and post it, declaring some silly customs amount - he’ll have to choose to pay the customs in order to pick it up. lol.
That sounds great. I will contact the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection to start the transaction and they will provide you with all the necesary details. All you need to do is follow the instructions that eBay provide in there so we can close this deal in safe conditions for both of us.
