Too many red flags here?

My father in law won this auction, I'm telling him not to pay for it. Does anybody disagree?
Bill Russell Rookie card
The red flags for me are -
new seller signed up on ebay 3 weeks ago
no picture in auction
no picture available after email
no paypal even though auction says paypal
no returns accepted
seller has an 8.5 jordan rc ending this afternoon and a shill bidder brought it from 50 bucks to 200 in a matter of a few minutes, $10 at a time
email and ebay message provided 2 different payment name and address
Did I miss anything, and is there anybody who would consider sending payment?
I asked today if local pickup would be ok, no response yet

That much money for an unseen card? I would file a dispute with Ebay for the shill bidder and take my chances on getting a neg. The paypal thing just doesn't add up either.

Buyers cannot get NEGs.
I would NOT pay; it's a scam.
Step 2 - Get the internet connection at your father in law's house disabled beofre he does this again

More like "Hey Dad How do I get back on the right track?" For SNL aficionados, this is Matt Foley the motivational speaker. He lives in a van down by the river. One of my favorite sketches of all time.
I miss Chris Farley.
And no response yet from the seller about local pickup. I'm shocked
In answer to the original question...NOOOOOO....I wouldnt send this guy $5 for the card

LOL
"Molon Labe"
is selling.
The Basketball player? The baseball Player?
People bidding assume it is the basketball player I would think by the ending price.
3 people bid more the 350.00 for a card they have no idea about.

Anyway the seller doesn't want local pickup, but
hello there the reason for the paypal logo on my auction is because in order to even list on ebay you need to accept paypal its strange but my jordan rookie bgs 8.5 and the lion king dvd set got cancelled because i listed no paypal anyways i need to fix my truck asap the transmission blew 2 days ago i need money fast the jordan was at 250.00 with 2 hours left before it got canceled you can have it for 225.00 if you want i really need fast cash i need a post office money order or bank check if you could overnight it i would ship both cards free of delivery with tracking and insurance as well all on my cost your call otherwise i need to relist 1 day auction tonight get back thanks william.

He can't meet me for cash anytime today thru thursday because he's working all day and all nite as a bartender so he might have to relist the card in a 1 day auction.
At least I kept my father in law from a $500 loss. Thanks for your opinions and advice!
<< <i>The seller relisted the jordan with no pic or cert number and in a 1 day auction caught a buyer for $426. Hopefully the high bidder is smart enough not to send a money order. The seller still uses the paypal logo but no paypal.

I asked for the certification # but as you might expect, no response.
Yeah I saw that now, at first I only read the description not above it.
Yeah I agree nothing to worry about.
