I need some transaction guarantees and I usually use escrow when trading overseas. Paypal is safe as well when trading locally. Actually, the transaction is straight from ebay, and the escrow service is European. They will release the funds to you as soon as they receive the package, as for me, I`ll have to wait until I get it in the US.
As you can see my reputation on ebay, I`m a honest ebuyer 100%, but I don`t feel comfortable sending the money overseas with no guarantee. I hope you understand.
You can call me anytime during the day, I can answer, unless I`m in a meeting.
"I always use this service http://esc-limited.200u.com when I`m buying from Europe, and I checked with them and you can receive the payment in your paypal account or by bank transfer . Please register there and get back to me with your user name in order to start a new transaction.

ADMIN EDIT: The Name, address, and ebay ID of the alleged scammer was obscured because it impacts a legitimate individual of the same name. The intent of the post is still the same however.
