Hello,

I purchased the following bag on Wednesday and because I am nervous consumer I would like an expert eye to take a look. This is a Christmas gift for my girlfriend, we saw the bag at the burberry store and she loved it, I purchased it on eBay because I had a 25% coupon that I received in my email and I thought if I could say $212 over retail it would be a good deal.

Thank you in advance for your time,
Sean

Hi Addy,
I won the burberry warrior on ebay but I am really scared to go ahead with the payment because the owner's paypal account is unavailable right now and he wants me to transfer him money through western union instead. what do you think? here's the email he sent to me:

Hi hilaryroxmasox, My name is RUSSELL JAMES, I am the seller of the Item#: 220317570039, 2008 BURBERRY MASON WARRIOR METAL STUD HANDBAG. I am responsible to confirm some details immediately. I have to congratulate you for your winning bid of US $1,199.00. Unfortunately, immediately after the listing closed I got a Notification from eBay and I must warn you that my account is unavailable and you cannot pay for the item through Paypal as usual, because the payment will be repealable. For your protection, in case you have already made the payment through Paypal your account will be credited back automatically when my paypal account is re-established, as well you will not be charged twice.
Due the occurence we can still complete the transaction immediately because this transaction is supervised by eBay, I am sure you got the email from eBay that is confirming the transaction is legitimate and the method of payment approved by eBay ONLY for this transaction is Western Union Money Transfer. For More details please visit: www.WesternUnion.com.
Item Location: worldwide, United States. (Very Important: The item is being shipped/picked up from location, the Address from Spain is my actual PAYMENT ADDRESS - I am located in Spain because I am the owner of a company in with a professional license. This is not mentioned in the ad because I have no idea why my paypal account is temporally unavailable.
PS: When the payment has been made you must provide the details of payment without missing letters or numbers, if possible, send the scanned paper of the wire transfer. I would appreciate that you reply promptly. Thank you again for your purchase! RUSSELL JAMES.


and he sent me more pics for the bag which im going to post up here, thanks so much for your help, im a first time buyer from ebay and im a bit scared.

Under any circumstances, DO NOT PAY via WU

You will have absolutely no recourse to get your money back

Tell him no, that you will wait until his PayPal account is up - in the meantime, contact eBay and find out what is going on with this guy's account and let them know about the message you got from him
