I bid and won a radar detector on Ebay from a user with good feedback and User and item was from the USA per the listing. The auction listing also had Payment seller preferred was Paypal, but at the end of auction I usualy go ahead and send my payment, but this time I waited and this is what happened: The following day I got an email from the seller claiming that ""Unfortunately, after the listing closed I got Notifications from eBay and Paypal and I must warn you that my account is unavailable and you cannot pay for the item through Paypal as usual. Item Location: United States, United States. The item will be shipped from this location by one of my employees, I must collect the payment because I am the seller, now I am located in United Kingdom because I have to sign a contract with a company and I know the mainspring of the paypal problem was caused because my account was accessed from different locations, while traveling to UK. Anyway we have a solution, payment approved by eBay for this transaction is Western Union Money Transfer so you can send the payment in a few minutes."" I knew then it was a scam for sure and I sent him an email telling him there was no way I was wiring any money and that this was not per the agreement of his listing let alone he does not even live in the USA he is in the UK??? No way. I am still getting emails requesting payment or he is to take action. I have reported him as an Ebay rep advised me but I do not think anything has been done yet. I even believe his feedbacks are bogus since I contacted one who said he had not done any transaction with him. So be aware if you come across: Ebay Seller ""da_pawn_guy_20""
Cons: UK Scam Artist
