Hi,
 
I want to be honest with you and I inform you that I have stop the auction
because I have 2 buyers interested in my tractor, they are willing to pay
the buy it now price. I want to sell the tractor ASAP and if you are a
serious buyer and you want to close this deal today or tomorrow I will start
the deal with you. 
 
First of all I wanna tell you some details regarding the tractor. The price
for this tractor is $4,500 with shipping and insurance fees included. The
tractor is presenting in a very good condition, no damage or defects, it
looks just the way showed in my presentation. The title is clear and I'm the
first owner of the tractor. The tractor will come with all the documentation
required for registration, you'll have no problem with that at your place.
 
I am in United Kingdom and the tractor is in eBay Square Trade's custody in
US the tractor will be shipped from there on my expense. I am selling this
tractor because the shipping to Europe will cost me to much. 
 
Hope you want to close this deal as much as I do.
 
Respectfully,
George Nottingham

I will pay the buy it now price quoted. How can I verify that it is in safe
custody of eBay ?
 
Thank You

Hi-
 
For the tractor's payment, I've choose money transfer, because this way the
funds will be available the same day you will make the transfer unlike
PayPal or escrow that allows you to cash the money after 10 or 12 days. So
PayPal is not an option for me, because it simply takes too much time,
comparing with money transfer.
 
The tractor will be shipped through US.JC MOTORS or DAS Shipping Company.The
tractor will only be sent after sending the payment to eBay Square Trade. I
agreed with eBay to send my tractor to its warehouse since I am not in US.
 
The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated at
eBay Square Trade. We can use eBay Square Trade for safety in our
transaction. I have a purchase protection account at eBay Square Trade and I
assume you know what this means. How you are protected by eBay Square Trade,
in case we have a deal:
 
1) If you will not receive the tractor as I described you, although this is
not the case,eBay Square Trade will refund you with 100% from the whole
amount which you paid me. Even in case you will not receive the tractor,
they will refund you the money.
 
2) You can send the money to my name and address but you will not give me
the details from the payment. You will give the details to eBay Square Trade
 They will verify the payment and if is OK, if the money exist and are
available under my name they will notify me to proceed with the shipping.
 
The tractor will arrive at your shipping address in 3 days starting in the
moment you make the payment.
 
After you receive and see that the tractor is the one you want, you just
notify eBay Square Trade to forward me the payment details in order for me
to pick up my money.
 
Here are my name and address you need for the payment in case you decide to
buy the tractor:
 
George Nottingham
54 Wokingham
Berks 
RG40 2BB 
United Kingdom
 
Let me know if you are still interested and if so, you must make the payment
of $4500 US through eBay Square Trade. You send them your full name and
address, my name and you will be informed on how to do the payment. Their
email is:support at square-trade-cust.us

If you like to save money on collection of the funds just ship the tractor
COD.
 
I will pay cash on delivery, let me know when to expect the shipment.
