Ebay escrow attempt to buy my ebay-listed wristwatch. Ebayer "Stephane" offered full price, pay escrow fee, pay shipping to France and that we use Progressive-co.com as escrow company. Turns out Progressive-co.com is a site that was set up 6/22/2012, has absolutely no presence on Google, etc. Cautiously, I decided to proceed anyway. Filling out the form, when i hit the escrow fee (which he had offered to pay), it was a pretty significant amount... that's what finally tipped the scale.

Either way, it was nearly lock-step with the "typical escrow scam" from this ebay page: http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-Avoid-Es ... 0003992204

I didn't even bother countering with using an approved ebay escrow company. Freaking drag, i got pretty stoked i was finally going to sell my watch!
