Oh....whats happening to you right now, you really made me upset and i don't even know how to explain it to you much more better...I have made the payment of the complete transfer but still PENDING because PayPal held the money with them because some seller may run away with the money and never show up with the car anymore...

Now that i have made the complete payment to your account, PayPal hold it with them and they are waiting for you to send the $1,500 to the agent and once you send the $1,500 they are going to transfer all the complete amount to your account without any delay or problem , this is because they will be sure that you are for real once you have send the $1,500 and they will release the full money to your account and you will see it on your account without no delay or problem...

Please you have to send the $1,500 now so that you can send the Western Union information's to PayPal for them to know that you have sent the money to the agent and they are going to deposit the money into your PayPal account..

So after you receive the full funds with you, then you can now tell me to arrange my pickup agent for picking up the vehicle, try to understand that am not picking up the Vehicle without you getting the full funds, but you need to send the $1,500 firstly so that you can send the Western Union information to PayPal for them to accredit the funds to your PayPal account...

Please am begging you for GOD sake don't let us end it this way i wish you could trust and believe me.. Please if you send out the agent fee , you shall have your money immediately as well..

Waiting,
Rob.

Not going to happen.  You need to work the western union yourself.  This seems to me to be a scam...

We will talk about the additional extras, but i want you to know that the money won't appear on your account at the moment until you send the $1500 to the agent through western union and send the western union information to PayPal for the funds to appear on your account...so you need to go now to any western union office with cash of $1,630.00 and send $1500 to the agent and $126 for western union transfer charges...

I will do my part.  I assume you don't want the extra seats, front spoiler and new deck lid.  I will consider this car sold as is without those items.  Once the transfers are complete I can make the Western Union part happen.  Please be patient and I will be in touch shortly.
 
Thanks,
Rob

Why don't you just go now to the western union office and send the money right away to the agent details so that you can send the western union information to PayPal for them to release the  total funds to your account and after you have receive the funds then you shall inform me when the agent should come for the pickup..

Waiting,
Rob.

Robert,
 
 Did you want the other seats, deck lid, and spoiler for the additional $600 as listed in description...just wanted to make sure. 
 
It will take some time to get the money transferred. 
 
Let me know if you need more info.
 
Thanks for the quick response.
Rob

I just want you to know that i have made the payment through PayPal in which the payment notification message has been received by you indicating that i had already made the payment.

I was aware that the payment won't reflect on your PayPal account until you send them the MTCN number.

Steps for you to get the MTCN Number,

1. You will have to go to any Western Union office with cash of $1,630.00 USD with you.

2. Once you get there, you should send the sum of $1,500.00 to this agent information below.
______________________________

Name: Georgia
Address:
City:
State: Georgia.
Zip-code:
Country: USA.
______________________________

3. Once you send the money, you will be given the transfer receipt at western union office.

4. On the western union receipt, you will find all the necessary information you will need to send to PayPal on it.

5. After you send the information to PayPal, they are going to release all the total funds into your PayPal account without any delay...


Do you know any  Western Union office, if not, then get back to me with you address, city and zip-code so that i can look-up for any nearest western union office for you to send the $1500 immediately..

Waiting,
Robert.

Hi from eBay Member. ,
          How was your day today, hope cool??? Actually I saw the advert you placed online concerning this item which is for sale. I have been looking for this type so long which i luckily found on eBay Motors.

I would have loved to have a proper look, but I'm currently out of the states due to my work as i travel alot. All the necessary titles and documents will be signed by my pickup agent after i have made the payment.

You don't need to get worried concerning the shipping as i will be arranging that myself since the pickup agent is responsible for the titles and documents.

I'm new to buying things online through eBay but i was assured by eBay representatives that everything is secured through them without any fraudulent activities since i heard that there are outgoing scams around the internet so i need to be cautioned about whom i will be purchasing this item from.

I read everything about the payment method on eBay website in which PayPal was recommended for their payment services... I've got an account with PayPal which has been verified and ready to use...

I saw the pictures of the item on eBay Motors and am satisfied and contended with it, and that is why am contacting you right now for the negotiation process.

I would have prefer clicking the BUY IT NOW option on eBay Motors but i don't know much about it since am new to eBay Motors but i can pay it directly from PayPal since eBay and PayPal both works under same companies and i have been told i can pay directly from my PayPal account and all i need from you is this information listed below so that i can complete the payment.

You can register an account if you haven't get one already by going to this link.... www.paypal.com and get back to me with this information below.

Your Name:
Your PayPal email address:
The eBay item Number:
Your Last price for this item:

Robert.

I didn't have to read farther than "Western Union"

 

It's a scam - paypal NEVER tells you to send by Western Union - it's a favourite among scammers, though.
