Dmo42455 this is the classic Nigerian or 419 scam. Do a Google search for either of those phrases and you will see what I mean.

Send the email to ebay and block the bidder from bidding and then ignore the person.

Finally one tip, never negotiate payment methods with your buyers stick with what you are happy with. Bidpay and Western Union are best avoided.

Scam as noted

You would send the items thinking you had payment and then you get the money charged back

A whole world of pain would result
