sorry bud, but as others have stated - this is a scam. Without even taking a close look at the pics, you can tell how low the resolution on the pics is. That means that they were originally pretty small and were then stratched. I dont' know of any camera that takes pics in that low of a resolution. The 2nd thing I noticed was what ohiocivic said. In the 1st pic - the right quarter panel is gone and in the 2nd it's relatively unharmed. Also, take a look at the fender in the 1st pic. See the big dent on a part that is close to the door? On the 2nd pic, that dent is not there! If I were you, I would figure out a way to OWN this guy. Why don't you take these pics and circle the things that don't add up (use paint or something). In the same email, politely ask for a refund (I assume you lost $280) and state that failure to do so will result in a legal action. Make sure your email sounds calm and professional. Do not call him names or sound arrogant.

you should also send an e-mail to ebay explaining the situation (include photos). IF you write it correctly, they wil surely close this guy's account and he would be unable to register from the same IP adress.

ohiocivic - you're friggin' right. The quarter panel pics.... and one of you guys mentioned the window too.

This is so messed up.

Well he's got some personal info of mine, so I definitely don't want to resort to threats. I'll keep his money and I guess this is just a life lesson.

Thanks for all the help and expertise.

If you look at picture 1 you can see that the rear quarter panel is really crushed in but if you look at the same spot in pic 2 it isn't the same. Plus in pic 1 the right fender is all dented in but in pic 2 it isn't. Plus in picture 1 you can see the side of the rear bumper but in pic 2 there isn't one. Picture 1 and 2 just dont match up.
