Nerd Electronic Nerd Electronics, Robert Tropp, Director General Ebay/ Western Union Scam by Internet Scum Internet

I was shopping on Ebay for a camcorder recently and noticed a large sponsored ad at the bottom of the page (3/5 of the ads were for items by this company) for Nerd Electronic, with a linked website.  The site was good and the advertised merchandise was above average condition and about 20% cheaper in price than I found previously in my searches.  

I placed an order, through the advertised secure 122 bit payment processing system.  They list the PayPal and other credit card logos on the site.  I got a confirmation email as anticipated immediately.  I got a follow up email later, stating that the purchsed item was being prepared for shipping but the business had a problem with its credit card processing and the person in the email requested a Western Union.

I objected and said I would not send money that way and I got another email directing me to again send Western Union and "do not advise that it is for a business so additional fees won't apply."  There are several addresses listed on the website and the Western Union information listed another woman in a different state to receive the money.

I checked on the Internet and there were no complaints about this company but it is obviously a scam.  I don't see any unauthorized credit card charges but I am thinking that this can't end well.
