here's another message on a boat he is selling
Hi there,
If your email doesn't recognize the web address below as an active link, please copy and paste the following address into your web browser or click on the below link to be redirected to my eBay auction page and click Buy It Now and after you complete the payment to eBay agent let me know your full name and full shipping address so I can start the shipping. After you get the boat you have 5 days to test and if you decide to keep it eBay will release money to me if NOT they will refund your payment and the shipping company will take the boat back on my expense and keep it until I find a new buyer. Regards
P.S
Have you cell phone available you will receive a sms txt from eBay on your mobile!

when I go into his feedback a window pops up from Norton and says Computer Threats, Identity Threats, etc. It closed before I could read it all
This sounds like a known eBay scam, where the scammer says the money will be held in escrow by eBay. They say that you will be given time to check the vehicle before the money is released from escrow. EBay does not have an escrow service like this, and the money is lost. The only place where eBay would get involved in a vehicle sale would be if you purchased the vehicle from the eBay Motors website.
Regards,
Nathan
