Hello Mister,
Why you don't respond at my e-mails?

I'll report you at eBay and I'll leave negative feedback!!!

Marketplace Safety Tip
Do not respond to the sender (through the eBay system or
your email provider) if this message is an offer to buy or sell an item. This type of
offer is against eBay policy, may be fraudulent, and is not covered
by buyer protection programs.
Second Chance Offer emails with the subject of “Message from
eBay Member” are fake. Real Second Chance Offers come directly
from eBay and appear in My Messages with a blue background
and subject stating, “eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...".
Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash wire transfer
services through Western
Union or MoneyGram.
These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you don’t
know.
