Actually, I think it will end well. Someone got a deal. The fools are those that paid 4K. There was another very similar listing a couple of months ago, a PSA t205 Cobb for even less.

To those who are convinced it is (was) a scam, how would the scam work? They send a fake card, or send nothing? Wouldn't ebay force a refund in either case?

Liquidate your PayPal account or close your bank account (now with managed payments) between receiving payment and claim. Disappear.

I'd like to think that ebay has some safeguards against this, but maybe they don't? I suppose being in France would certainly make it easier to disappear...

Worst case, you get your money back. I personally have never had an eBay issue in 677 transactions. And I have bought things from foreign sellers with a minimal number of sales. I bought a very rare U.S. railroad timetable some years ago, from France (Michigan Central RR, 1899, really nice ads and graphics, someone traveled to the U.S.), seller had 6 transactions and it took forever to arrive, for far less money than any others I had seen, but it came and is a real beauty. Feedback is absolutely vital. I have only made 1 or 2 transactions with anyone less than 100%.
