> Who thinks I'm right in saying screw that it's dodgy??? I sent an email back asking if I could pay cash and collect myself.... no reply yet latest email from him as follows........... Hello there,

If you are in Greece you can pay cash

This is how we can make this deal happen.
when I left the UK I deposited gbp 20000 at Ebay.I did this because it is very difficult to deal with
eBayers and make them feel safe when a long distance is involved.
So if anything goes wrong with our deal,even if I doubt it will,you will get a full refund from the deposit I mentioned.
Just let me know if you are interested and i will notify EBAY about our deal and they will contact you with the terms.
Waiting for your e-mail ASAP
Thank you! does this still sound dodgy??????

I asked him why he only wanted £1800 for the R1.

I received the very same email reply.

And by replying the scammers now know your email address is working and active so you'll no doubt be getting plenty more...
