How does anyone sell vehicles on Ebay then? I've sold one, and old Austin A30, and it was exactly as the email above, pretty much. The guy was from down near the NSW border, and when he sent an enquiry about it (via "Questions to the seller") he said repeatedly that he refused pay via bank deposit or cheque (even said he had been ripped off on a sale before), and only dealt through Paypal, even at the expense of losing the vehicle. I said I had a Paypal account, and next thing I had a bid on the car. He won, money appeared, and he set a date about a month from then when we was travelling through the area with his own tilt-tray truck to pick it up.
I don't know if it's just that I've sold a hell of a lot of things through Ebay and am used to the way people ask questions about paying, but that series of texts doesn't look that out of the ordinary to me.
If it was an email I would hold the mouse over the "Paypal" link and see what pops up in the bottom left of the screen...it should match the legitimate Paypal link (
