Just putting this here so it's in a place indexed by google.

This guy is running the Ebay VPP scam.

The email I got from him after asking to use a legit vehicle escrow service:

From: Magnus Bjornsen <magnusbjornsen67@gmail.com>

Hi again XXXXXXX,

The price is so low because I want to sell it fast to raise money for
paying a house mortgage so I need a buyer immediately. I'm serving in
the U.S. Air Force and I'm deployed to Europe at the moment but the
Jeep is located in a vehicle storage from Tacoma, WA sealed and ready
to be delivered free of charge to its buyer because I'll use my
military discounts and facilities to help with the shipping.

Let me explain you how works this sale. For our both protection, I
want the payment to be handled by eBay. You will deposit the money to
eBay and will not be released until you inspect the car. You will have
a 5 days inspection period. If the car is not as described it, I will
give you directions where to leave the car and eBay will fully refund
your money. Only this way eBay can certify that you are a genuine
buyer with cash prepared for this purchase and you are not just
fooling around, moreover you will be able to inspect the car before
committing to buy it. You will receive it in 2-3 working days with all
the paperwork signed, notarized and ready for transferring ownership.
Giving the nature of this urgent sale please note that my terms are
final and non-negotiable!

In order to move forward and register the transaction with eBay I will
need your full name along with a delivery address and eBay will
contact you with the payment instructions and transaction info.

Thank you
SSgt. M.Bjornsen USAF
