Please tell me that you all are not even entertaining the thought of dealing with this guy... I don't care what he has to sell you are talking about INTERNATIONAL transactions here. Ebay can't touch him if he is outside the US. The government isn't going to help you. Please don't be blinded by the carrot he is dangling. You have a language barrier, a political barrier and ambiguous circumstances, not to mention an insistance on payment that can''t easily be recovered. Come on... If anyone sends him money, I have some beachfront property about 50 miles east of Myrtle Beach for sale. Really cheap... But I need cash because my reality had a failure?!?
