It's a SCAM. Whatever you do - do NOT click the WATCH ITEM link. It will harvest your UID and PWD. I have already emailed eBay about this. The item number is not bogus, but the auction on eBay's site immediately redirects externally to addison-tech (they've probably had their site hacked)..

If you have clicked the WATCH ITEM link and entered your ebay ID/PWD - go change your PWD immediately..
Saw that on the other forum, and thought Id let you guys know.

Haha i just got this e-mail from them, i used the "ask the seller a question" and it had me put my e-mail address in.

Hello,
I`m glad that you´re interested in my 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. Let me tell you all about this deal.
Details about the car :
The car is accurate. It has no scratches, no damages, no hidden defects. Kept it in a warm garage. It comes with all the documents needed for registration in US, it has a clear title issued in US and it can be registred into your name at any time without any problem. The pictures are made by me, and are recently.
Price:
The buy it now price is US $4,900.00. This buy now price include the shipping and insurence fees.
Location:
I´m in Stockholm, Sweden and the car is here as well and so this is where the car will be shipped from ( for local buyers or for cash payments vehicle inspection / pick up is also available at anytime during 10:00AM - 17:00PM ).
Shipping:
I've done some research and the best and fastest way I can ship it is using Sweden Cargo Shipping GmbH which takes between 5 to 7 days to arrive at your door and and costs about US $ 1,150.00 (door to door handling and shipping insurance fee included).
The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated with BidPay where I have a purchase protection account for $ 10,000.00.
How will BidPay protect your purchase ?
This service alows us to complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third party between seller and buyer to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements and provides dispute resolution and mediation between parties. BidPay is responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements, both parties must submit proof of payment/delivery presented in a legal form (payment/delivery receipt) by the registered payment/delivery service used.
If this is ok with you please reply with your complete name and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at BidPay and to move forward with this deal.
Best Regards,
