I was looking around at some bikes and found one listed in Alaska for a great deal. The guy said he has to sell it by May 30th because his platoon leaves and no one will care for the bike and does not want it to sit around forever.

He said the way the sale works is through the ebays buyer protection program which works by giving your info to him so he can open a transaction case, they contact me for more info, I pay through the program he ships and with the program I have 5 days to keep it or ship it back, and as soon as I recieve it the program sends him the money.

Just wondering if this is legit which sounds to be or if there is anything sketch or I should worry about.

Thanks!

There is a protection program ebay has through paypal, but still seems odd I guess..

Personally I don't deal with sketchy stuff like this. Theres plenty of bikes locally. Why risk this loosing your money?
