Many sellers on eBay put theirs PayPal email ID's on the listings. So where is the catch? How the scamer can harm us?   Here is what I received:   From:     Eric Moore ...     Thanks for your response ,i will like to know if it is in good condition because am buying it for my Dad as a gift and he doesn't know about it,so can you assure me that i will not be disappointed,also no shipment involved as i have a mover that will come over for the pick up and am satisfied with your firm/advert price,as am requesting this transaction should be done via PayPal so the PayPal charges is on me and Payment will be made via PayPal only(if you don't have an account,its easy,safe and secured just log on to (www.paypal.com) i m presently out of town for my new project,so am sorry i will not be able to come over to look at it in person and that's the only reason why PayPal is the only Payment option. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? i look forward to read from you . > ________________________________ > From: Eric Moore > I just view your listing and i will like to buy it.kindly let me know > the condition of it asap. ...
