Ebay Scam?

Just was checking e-bay for a BMW 528 seiries for the wife and ran across one in Cali. I emialed him for a general location for a look see and here is what I got back.

"The car is registered in Ca. located in Germany, my ex wife took it and now our divorce is finalised she owes me 20,000 which will be obtained by selling this car. I'm trying to fasten up the process because I really need the money right now. So the car will be shipped to you on my expense after you pay 3,000 in advance to the escrow site (safest-trader.com) and also don't worry about there fee, I will pay it. My only problem is time, the final price will be 16,000 if you fasten up the negotiations a little bit. Expecting your reply asap."

Looks like Bull*#it to me, I don't know if I should respond or report him to e-bay. I remember reading about this kinda stuff a few weeks ago. Any sites that can follow this dude up?

Thanks, Rick
