OK, I feel a little stupid for that one... sorry, I missed that part, my bad.
Having said that, I still feel the same way towards the example given. You have a buyer & a seller with no realtor, the buyer is from Nigeria & wants money sent to 3 rd party, he talks a about setting up"off shore accounts" (anyone smell a red flag there??) Anyways, all on E-bay!! So in the end, a deal pushing the most important purchase of a lifetime (your home) is not exempt from scammers...
My case & point: (not trying to be rude) Why the hell would you buy or sell a house on E-bay to a non-represented Nigerian stranger who wants funky 3rd party & offshore transactions in the first place??? that is so ignorant that they almost beg to taken advantage of!!! Whore out the property, get screwd... A+B=C.
