I was contacted from spain outside ebay and "forced" to use a http://www.online-steps.net, instead http://www.escrow-europa.com because the buyer says :
"I want to use Online Steps, simply because I'm an old customer of them and have many items transacted through them. I can guarantee a smooth and safe transaction.
If you want to complete this transaction, just give me a short e-mail and I will give you further instructions.
Thank you very much"

Do you think that 12 days are enough for be "an old customer of them" ?
