Scammer wouldn't let me pay more - pRICE cUBE - 04-26-2011
No reply after I offered more money. A non greedy scammer? What is the world coming to?

I feel so awful about taking advantage of you at $2000. Can I pay you
$3,000 instead? It would help me sleep better at night. I think it
would help you on your trip.

Hi ,
Here are all easy steps to complete the transaction :
First you will have to send me your full name,address and phone
number,i will contact eBay and they will send you the invoice with all
the details about payment and insurance .
Regarding the payment, you will receive invoice from eBay ..you will be
instructed to deposit the money to an eBay account,You have to pay with
cash. They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the item in
good condition. That is how their buyer protection policy is working.
As far as the seller concerns, i will be glad to know that eBay has the
possession of the money during the delivery period. That is my
insurance.This is an refundable amount .
In 48 hours you will receive the item . After you receive the item you
have 10 days to test the item and verify it.
After max 10 days you will contact eBay and you can tell them your
decision. If you decide to hold the item, then you will have to
authorize eBay to release the funds to me, and the transaction will be
completed. If it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will
return it in maximum 10 days since the arrival date. In this case eBay
protection program will refund you the full amount in 24 hours and the
same delivery courier will pick up the item and you don´t have to pay
the return shipping.I am sure you will love the item and will not want
to return it, but it is good to know that you do have this second
option available.
During this transaction , eBay will provide you all the the support you
need and you can ask for all the details of this deal.
Thanks ,
Matthew

Hi,
Thanks for being interested in buying my Canon 300 mm f2.8 L IS USM
lens, I will start my email by telling you that I'm currently out of
country so pick up isn't an option . The item is as described , in
perfect condition and will be delivered at your home address . Total
price will be $2,000 and the transaction will be made only through eBay
because they will handle with all that it has to be done ,the shipping
, payment and passing the item in to your property as they have
authorization to sign for the item in my behalf . Right now I'm in the
Italy, just arrived here 3 days ago . Before I left I found a buyer and
I had everything arranged . I paid for the shipping and almost sent it
to him . But yesterday the buyer that I had asked me to wait another 4
weeks because he suddenly had other priorities and he is out of money
for the moment . I can't wait this long as I'm in Italy for 3 days now
and i really need the money, I am in the moving process , changing the
work place and everything ... A major issue is that if you want to buy
my item you really need to have the money ready for it .
This purchase protection guarantees that the item is exactly as I
described ; basically , once delivered , you'll have 10 working days to
inspect it at your home and if you decide not to keep it you will get
refunded in no time and they will charge me with the return costs . If
the item meets your expectations and you want to keep it you will have
to tell them to release me the payment details so I can get paid . If
you are interested in this purchase please reply me with your full name
and shipping address . After i pass this details to them you will
receive an invoice and further instructions as how will you be able to
get possession of the item .
Let me know your thoughts .
Thanks ,
Matthew

You probably struck a nerve with that "sleep better at night" comment.
