Another E-bay Scam ?

[69 Code51 Z]

Really wanted to share this. There were a pair of NOS wheelwells on e-bay about a week ago that I had bid on and lost. The winning bidder I know of - price was what I expected - done deal . Right. I get this e-mail from an unknow sender with the wheelwells and item # in the subject
box offering me the item. Then I get another e-mail which looks like it is from e-bay offering a 2nd chance on the item - that the winning bidder was unable to complete the transaction. As I mentioned earlier I know who the winner bidder was and wondered what was wrong with the items/auction. I get another e-mail from the seller that he is going to notify E-Bay if I want to exercise this second chance offer and that E-bay will send me an invoice. He also tells me he will throw in the shipping. Sounding too good to be true by now. I send him back an e-mail telling him I will take them - just send me a phone # to discuss payment arrangements. Next I get a e-mail from him telling me that once he receives payment in London - because thats where his business is - his wife will send me the items. No phone #. I then receive an e-maill that looks like its from E-bay with the invoice with his mailing address being London - requesting payment Western Union. I'm really feeling uncomfortable by this time and go to the Security page at E-bay. Right on the first page it states never pay with Western Union. I then go through the E-bay process and forward the e-mail address that was supposedly from E-bay w/invoice. E-bay responses that this is not from E-bay. This seller had over 200 positive feedbacks.
