I was selling a MacBook Pro 13.3" on eBay, and was contacted by a buyer through eBay. I texted the potential buyer, and he offered to pay $1,130 USD plus the $125.54 USD shipping fee. Here is the "confirmation email" I received. I am 99% sure this is a scam, since I've seen a lot of other topics like it.
