Any how,, This is the same scammer that was trying to sell my old Tombraider, identical e-mail as below Hi, I have received your email regarding my car 2003 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90. The LAND ROVER is in perfect working condition. My experienced LAND ROVER tech has fully checked out this car and gives it a special high rating has a CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically without any problems ever safety check and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing before I ship or deliver the vehicle.I always kept it in my garage,away from bad weather and it looksgorgeous.The problem is that in the meanwhile I had to move with my family in, Germany where I got a new job as a construction engineer.Theamount you will have to pay in order to own this vehicle is 4680 GBP with shipping costs included! Unfortunately I am forced to let it go.You see, due to my job I had to move to Germany and I just found a great house offer.The thing is that I have to make a deposit so I can be sure that I won't loose this great offer.On the other hand, I hope I will find someone who will treat this baby like I did. Also,I take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car,so be sure that I don't waste my time withendless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of your serious intentions. Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 6-7 days.

Could it be that with this info he could get access to your eBay account perhaps?? Not sure, looking on the "forgot your password" page, you would need more info to get your password back.You need to answer two of four questions - answer to secret question, post code, date of birth & primary telephone number.
