Yes positively a fraud case. Ebay has issued warnings about this, Craiglist did too. There is good chance his ad has been flagged in craigslist already. Ebay buyer protection, western union guarantee are all hoax. Anytime a seller tells you that he needs to ship the car from overseas, walk out of the deal. Unless he shows you the car and the title don’t pay up. Buying a car from ebay is not a  bad deal, but when “shipping” from overseas is involved that should send a red flag.

Moral of the story: When it sounds too good to be true, it is.
