Have a nice day

 Thank you for your reply.
Before going further with anything I must
tell you that for payments I will use the eBay Company, they will secure
the transaction of payments. I will open a CASE ID# at eBay Company for
this transaction and I will give them your full name, shipping info,
phone# and indicate you as my tenant. After that, they will contact you
with the payment details, and they will ask you to send them a
refundable deposit, $1,200.00 in 24 hours(the money will be for the
first month of rent + the security deposit). After they receive your
deposit, they will notify me immediately to start the shipping of the
keys and the contract. You will receive a  tracking number in max 24
hours after they receive your deposit. The keys will reach to you in 3-4
days. After you'll receive the keys and the contract, the 14 days of
inspection period will start( you'll have 14 days to see the condo, read
the contract, decide if you keep the condo or not).After the inspection
you will contact them and tell your decision: TAKE THE CONDO or NOT
TAKE THE CONDO! In case you'll take it you'll have to send them a copy
of the contract signed by you and they will release the money to me, if
not you'll have to send them the contract unsigned and they will refund
your money($1,200.00), the contract and the keys will be shipped back at
my expenses! I will pay the shipping and you'll have to pay the money
transfer fee for the refundable deposit.
Once again:
1. If you have the money $1,200.00 and if you want to rent it send me your full name, your shipping address and your phone#
2. I will open a CASE ID# at eBay Company for this transaction , and I will give them your info, and indicate you as my tenant.
3.
After that, they will contact you with the payment details(you'll have
to send them $1,200.00 via money transfer in the next 24 hours-you'll
need cash)
4. After they receive your deposit, they will notify me
immediately to start the shipping, and you will receive a  tracking
number in max 24 hours after they receive your deposit.
5.From the
moment you receive the keys the 14 days inspection period will start.I
will make the transaction only in this way so if you have the money and
if you want to rent my condo send me your full name, your shipping
address, your phone# and I'll start the procedure.
 
Thanks
