I'm willing to bet it wasn't the seller who pulled it. It was pulled right after I sent eBay what I thought about this seller.

I'm wondering if this seller is a scam artist, for several reasons. I wrote him thru eBay to ask questions. He replied outside of eBay with a form letter which did not address any of my questions. (the letter is copied below) He's been an eBay member for a couple of years, but has no feedback. In his form letter, he mentions an escrow type service thru eBay, but as I understand it eBay does not have its own escrow service. And the pricing he mentions is out of line for that car. Also, in the letter he says he is the original owner, which contradicts what he says in the eBay listing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 8:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question for item #4594459549 - Mercedes-Benz : 200-Series Hello, The car is located in Tulsa, OK.
