Beware of a seller "tango224" and e-mail barry1berns. "Tango 224" had two Baja powerboats on eBay Motors. The second page of each item had a notice for a "buy it now" price with a note to contact barry1berns for further information. I contacted him with questions about the boats. Only one was still availble - the other sold. He promised that the payment would go through an e-Bay agent and would be held in escrow for 30 days. If I didn't want the boat, he would contact the eBay agent, I would return the boat and he would refund my money. I was sent an invoice on official-looking eBay format with specific instructions to wire the money through Western Union. I forwarded the emails from the seller to eBay and as I suspected, they were not from eBay. This boat sale is a scam. I have read several others similar, but just beware. Fortunately I did not send any money, but others need to know about this type of scam out there.
