I had an exact same format reply to an ad for a caravan awning I was selling. The guy said he was really keen, but as a marine engineer on a ship he couldn't come himself but he would pay by Paypal and then his transport agent would come to collect the awning. When I told him to get his agent to bring cash, he replied with the exact same email he'd sent originally. So I ignored him.

Let the seller beware!!
