BUYING A BIKE FROM EBAY - ADVICE REQUIRED URGENTLY

I am looking at buying a Trek triathlon bike from ebay.
The guy is not a bike dealer, but has all frame sizes available (evidently).
He wants to be paid by western union money transfer, and then will ship it to me (from the netherlands).
The question I have is, is it safe? It has occured to me that this guy could be some geezer just trying to pay him £1000, and then he will just dissappear. He has no 'history' on ebay, and has only been a member since a week ago.

Any thoughts?

Anyone know of courier that can do cash on delivery?

Anyone know of companys/importers who can sell bikes really cheaply (like I mean less than half the UK list price - which is what this bike is)
