I bought a new battery for my laptop on e-bay with the "but it now" option.
The e-mail response I got from the seller seems "fishy" to me. I have asked
e-bay if this is a legitimate transaction, but have not heard back from
them.

Here is their response (long, I know), but the part that bothers me is
that they say to use THEIR checkout system to pay, and that they do not
use e-bay checkout (and they don't use PayPal). I don't use e-bay enough
to know if this is common. It seems odd to me.
