I told them i would send a mate along to take delivery of the car directly from them and pay for it in cash.
This is what they came back with:
" Hi,
Richard
Thank you for your reply and intention to purchase my car ,i have a better way for us to proceed with our deal ,and for you to receive your car in about 12-14 days at your home address ,without paying anything in advance .
If you decide to have the car ,you will need to make a deposit to any western union office from your town with half from the entire amount amount using a relative's name as receiver but only with my location Ventimiglia-Italy as destination for me to be able to verify if the money have been properly deposited .As soon as you make the deposit and send me the dates from the western union's receipt ,and they are :Sender's name (your name),Receiver's name (chossed person or relative's name ),MTCN number (money transfer control number),and the delivery address ,just like they apear on the western union receipt ,i will verify it and make the delivery sending you the tracking number from the delivery firm so you can track the car in the way to your home address .I will also email eBay with theese dates ,we will receive both right after a registration number witch showes that our deal is supervised by eBay ,so that they will be no worries what so ever .The car will arrive at your residence in about 12-14 days ,you will have 15 working days to test it and decide of you want to keep it or not .If you will decide to keep it you will just give a call or go in person to western union and request to change the receiver's name in mine and send the other half so i can collect my money .
Looking forward to hear from you soon ,
Gillian Walker
P.S:I will also ask ebay's stuff to help me in this matter and to show you that i am a serious seller with a clean feedback and i take online transaction very seriously,so that you don't have any doubts"
Seems you still have to send em all the loot up front then wait for the thing to arrive. DODGY.
