eBay Marketplace Safety Tip:
If this email is an offer to sell you an item without winning the listing on eBay, please report it to us at http://pages.aol.ebay.com/help/policies/rfe-spam-non-ebay-sale.html. Please do not respond to it. Regardless of the apparent feedback of the sender or any claims they might make, such an offer is not only against our rules, but it is extremely risky. It is unsafe to purchase such an item through a transaction that is not on our site. You will lose the benefit of eBay's purchase protection programs, and run the risk of losing your money.
