He's scamming you! Everyone knows Ebay expects that type of stuff to be reported. For the buyer to contact you directly tells me he's hoping that you get scared and refund him.
What an a-hole! I would contact Ebay first to report him as a scammer. What's his reviews like?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
