Ebay fraud alert

I've seen some amazing deals, but this one is pretty darn "good" Velodyne dd-15 sub ($4k list) at auction on ebay. No condition noted. Emailed seller for condition and shipping. This is what I get back:
First I am going to tell you some things I think you should know before ending this deal.I travel a lot and now I am in Eastern Europe. The item is going to be shipped from europe also.Now, I can ship through UPS air next day delivery. I will pay for all taxes. If you wish you can also send me your full shipping info so I can make a reservation on your name .The price of the item is 600$ (as I said earlier with shipping and insurance taxes included). I need some money as fast as possible so I am offering a 10 % discount if we end the deal in 24 hours.Here I am stuck to western union wire transfer.I can't use paypal because it's not available yet. Just because of this I set up an insurance with ebay which guaranties 100 % of this deal. If you wish I can contact eBay right away and have them send you an invoice with my insurance.If you agree on my terms I am sure we can close the deal right now.
Please reply after you think it over.
Best regards.

Hmm, $4k new item, weighs 150 lbs or more, next day air from Europe, for $600, shipped. Such a deal ;~)

Too bad, I'd love to try the sub.

I've had no problems at all with PayPal. They obviously want you to fund from your bank account and not from a credit card, so I don't know if is possible to set the credit card as the default, but you can always choose it as the funding source for each transaction.

Chill out Audioblazer. I was just kidding. I actually do feel for you and am truly sorry about your misfortune. Now might I suggest that you not be so quick to pass judgement on someone you don't even know. Check out my feedback and threads and compare to your own. Have a nice day and by the way, I do have a good life. I'm very happy with my system and I also have had my fair share of misfortunes in life. I bought a vintage receiver one time on Ebay and it was totally trashed when I got it. The seller finally responded to many e-mails over a long period and wouldn't offer to help. His poor packaging was the reason and he told me to file a claim with the freight company. Such is life.
