Default Suspicious listing on Ebay; ITR motor

I was searching for any good ITR for sale deals on ebay and well stumbled upon this: ITR motor for sale ..
What caught my attention was the 0 feedbacks, and selling a "motorswap" ...
I'm not trying to bad mouth anyone or draw any concrete connections but I remember some ITR theif being discovered not too long ago in FL. Right around march, and that's when this user signed up. The motor is pretty dirty and greasy, as well as contains the "USDM rice".

Also he states, his uncle has an importing company, which in that means his uncle could sell this for him and give him more profit. Sorry to the seller of the item if he/she is legitimate. Just watching out for the ITR community.
Mods feel free to delete this if I'm in the wrong about the seller, just watching out for the ITR owners.

the only thing that makes it seem like it is a real swap from a shop and that this is not a theif is that the swap is still attached to the front suspension. Obviously a theif wouldn't sell a swap with the front 5 lug still connected

Is is standard procedure to cut all the hoses and wires? Persicute me if you will, but I don't like the fact that the guy has poor speaking skills, and zero feedback should always be viewed as suspect when selling a high dollar item.

When I get on my own computer tonight, I'll email him for a VIN.

EDIT: Also...he's only accepting paypal as a payment option. Which some of us know, is the new way to scam people.
