He had a 0 feedback history, and sent me an email thru eBay, enquiring about shipping costs to Indonesia using TNT or DHL. He had a tempting offer of USD2800 (!!) too (my opening price is USD1499).

I don't want to be contacted 2 weeks from now asking me 'Hey dude where's my car?'. I also don't want Paypal or my bank to suddenly debit money from my account and be left in the red.
