I can't agree more on the warning here. Connecting off eBay or other sites
where people go to find desirable and/or attractively priced hi-tech gear is
already shady; if, on top of that, you are requested to send money (half of
a large amount is still a decent ambount!) to a country like Romania (with
limited consumer protection of prosecution of fraud) you're taking a big,
big risk! No matter how much you want that plasma screen, dictator's
inheritance or phone-of-the-future, a deal too good to be true is nearly
always just that. Having to wait sucks, but being conned even more.

The key phrase I think in your e-mail is "connected through e-bay". I
conclude that this means that you are not buying through ebay auction and
hence do not have the protection of e-bay contract. As a regular e-bay I
strongly recommend to buy via e-bay and use Paypal as payment for added
protection. Off e-bay contacts are a standard e-bay fraud mechanism.
