Item Seller says there is a buy it now price of $3250. I agreed to it and received an email from "EBay"
asking that I send a wire transfer to a bank in Poland. Sounds fishy!!!
Sellers name is
Please confirm the validity of this transaction!!

I'm pretty sure THIS IS A SCAM! I had a similar experience when I was trying to purchase a high valued item before, some how these scammers are able to manipulate their e-mails to appear as if they are coming from e-bay. REPORT THEM TO E-BAY FRAUD DEPARTMENT ASAP! & DO NOT RESPOND ANYMORE TO THE SCAMMER VIA EMAIL. ONLY RESPOND TO THE PERSON HOLDING THE AUCTION THROUGH EBAY COMMUNICATIONS.
P.S. I do not work for ebay, this is just my personal advice from my own experience.

A seller cannot ask for a wire transfer as it is against ebay
accepted payment policy.
There is no buyer protection at all for use.
Looks like a Scam to me.
That auction number does not even show up as a valid number.

Try sending an email to the following person.
He is the Canadian ebay rep.
This could be a hijacked account as the user hasn't
had any transactions since Feb.
