Read what eBay has to say about using escrow:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/escrow.html

 Important: Only use Escrow.com.   http://www.escrow.com/
Using Escrow.com can help keep buyers and sellers safe from fraud. When you use Escrow.com, they collect the money from the buyer and hold it until the buyer and seller agree that the terms of the sale have been met. Once both parties are satisfied, Escrow.com sends the payment to the seller. Escrow.com is licensed and regulated company, and the only escrow service that can be used for eBay transactions.
Escrow is available for any purchase, but typically is used for purchases of $500 or more.

Both fake sites have invalid domain registrations.
http://www.trading-secure.com/  skyoingia@aol.com
http://www.safely-trade.com/  desnoeola@aol.com
The AOL accounts do not exist.
Therefore, in my opinion,  the registrar and web host are allowing this fraud and need to be held accountable for criminal activities on their server.

The scammer is using this email address:
mruiz414@gmail.com
Here is what he is telling his intended victims:

I will cover the shipping fee because i want it shipped through FedEx.
Because of the high amount of money i will prefer using an escrow service.
Also you will have to add a buy it now button on your listing so i can use it, please do not forget to also add that you deliver worldwide and that you accept other methods of payment so i can pay you via escrow.
I will cover the fees of the escrow. The escrow company i want to use is www.safely-trade.com , please read their terms and conditions and if you are agree with them please register and let me know the email address you use for registration in order for me to initiate the transaction, or initiate yourself the transaction trough them, my registered email address with them is mruiz414@gmail.com .
You don't need to insure the watch because I will insure it to the escrow company at the real value, so you don't need to insure it to FedEx any more.
I'm located in Marbella, Spain ..
