This is one way that crooks on eBay get their money. Lots of eBay buyers are too smart to send money directly to Russia by Western Union lately. So the crooks set up a bogus auction, then have the buyer paypal the money to someone (you) in the states. It looks legit from the buyers standpoint. Then you keep a portion but send most of the money to the crooks by Western Union or Moneygram. The buyer never gets his stuff, and they come looking for you instead of the crook. Don't get involved.

Absolutely, Don C. This was posted as a PSA. (and poking fun at these morons) This is nothing more than a Russian, third-party variation on the Nigerian banking scheme, using eBay and Paypal to convey an appearance of legitimacy.
