Went through the same thing w/a 04 Tahoe for 3500 last week. I did what Tod said... Told him I would only buy it in person. The seller said "it is in Idaho"... I will ship to your door in 4 to 5 days. I said perfect!! "I am actually going to be in Idaho in a week to visit my cousin"... I can pay you cash. He said: "That is not possible, I am on a Army base about to be deployed to Afghanistan & I have turned the vehicle over to E Bay under the buyer protection program". He went on to say that I had a 3 day period to deny the vehicle if I did not like it... blah blah bbbbblah... I finally said we already give your country ENOUGH money as it is... which part of China/Asia are you in right now??? They wanted a money graham... they even sent FAKE E-Bay forms to me!! WTH!!
