I was also looking at the auction. What was the Second Chance offer you received... from the seller or from someone else? It looks to me like either it was a complete scam or the seller didn't get what he was hoping and is trying for more.

The negative feedback on the last transaction (replied to months after it was placed), and the previous feedback for items 'daughters' have loved all indicate a hijacked account.

I wouldn't bid on this either, but I'm in Australia so I've asked if I can pick it up just for the heck of it.

came through the ebay legit...

it was followed by this...

The original high bidder has already left negative feedback, so I've asked him what happened and invited him to comment here.

Just heard back from the winner. A definate scam. Here's what he says:

"the listing stated that payment was to be made by paypal.

when i won the auction, i received an email advising me not to pay by paypal and pay for this using another method.

i was not comfortable with this and the seller said there paypal account was being upgraded, so couldnt accept any payment through this method.

i then receievd another email advising me to pay via western union. this email looked very suspicious, even though it did look like it was originated by ebay, so i checked this with ebay.

they immediately replied and said this was a spoof email and was not to proceed any further.

upon contacting the seller about this, i have not heard a word from them since, hence my negative feedback to warn against any future buyers who may buy from this seller in the future."
