As for the bill, I wouldn't hold my breath on it ever coming in. I can't believe that people would bid that much with a zero feedback newbie seller....

Hard to say. Could be just a newbie seller. Dang if I would bid on such an item from a zero seller, though. I did buy about $350 worth of coins from a zero newbie, though, once, and it came out OK in the end. (But I was sweating for a while...)
I say fifty-fifty chance, the guy's fer real.

Look at the bottom right corner. The picture has been copied from a previous auction. It was originally an iPIX picture in someone's auction, copied, then this guy uploaded it onto ebay's hosting system which overlaid the camera icon. The whole thing seems fishy to me.
Pay via PayPal credit card and you are covered. You would be able to chargeback on your card if ripped-off.
Speaking from experience, your credit card company will stand on Paypal's side due to the wording on your Paypal account agreement. You are only protected by Ebay on the first $250.00 by Ebay minus the first $50.00 and $250.00 by Paypal insurance. Any amount above $500.00 you are out of luck.

(I'd look again, but for some reason, eBay pages now take 3-5 minutes to load on this server here at work, and we're on T-1... weird!)

What do you expect? At work you have to share your T1 with all of the other workers downloading Napster and porn.
