I just won an ebay auction and after winning the seller requested payment through egold. I have been scammed on ebay before so I told him that I was not comfortable paying with egold ( he also had 0 feedback) and would like to use some other form of payment that offered me some protection from scams. He replied he would trust me and that he would ship the item to me and I could pay later. Meanwhile I got a letter from ebay saying he had been suspended, didn't say why.I did recieve the item and it made me even more curious. It is a tool that had been ordered from amazon.com. several days after the auction ended. It had a receipt in it which said he had payed $239 for the tool and I won the auction for only $167.50 including shipping. I have had trouble with egold funding places because they will not accept cell phone numbers for contacts and we are off grid and only have cell phones. Maybe that is a blessing because something still does not feel right about this whole thing. I have emailed the guy and offered to send him a cashiers check and he refuses says he will only accept egold. So here I sit with atool that I desperately need and haven't paid for and am wondering what to do. Advice anyone?
