I think you're going to be hard pressed to find a beater M3 for $300. let alone a nice one.

My user M2 was 380 EUROS and it need a CLA because the shutter was way off. It's not a beater, it's just cleary well used (wear on the strap lugs, meter scratches on the top plate).
I'd buy any M3 that (barely) works for 300$, frankly.

You got a good deal - because the seller was in Canada and went on a rant concerning a question pertaining to paypal. Here was his response to the paypal question. It's entertaining, if nothing else.
"Hi Sorry, But NO I do not accept PAYPAL. Too Expensive, with too many hoops for sellers to jump through. with so FEW ebayer's being/having a CONFIRMED paypal account, it offers NEXT to ZERO protection for sellers. Until Paypal makes CONFIRMED (eligible for seller protection) accounts mandatory for buyers worldwide. I'm just not willing to accept it, as a reliable payment source. Paypal has a two stage qualification process. Most all paypal accounts are VERIFIED. Meaning the ebay/banking details matches the information supplied via your email address. BUT is NOT backed up by a credit card. So NOT eligible for seller protection against payment issues. A CONFIRMED paypal account is Credit card backed ,meaning the bidder is the same as the authorized card holder. ONLY those type of paypal accounts offer the "touted ebay seller protection" BUT only USA /CANADA & UK are eligible for the confirmed rating. There by ELIMINATING the rest of the world as qualified PAYPAL buyers. To my thinking it's not fair. Either all have to be CONFIRMED or paypal MUST offer coverage to all sellers no matter to whom or WHERE they sell . Learned this the HARD WAY lost payment, lost item. So till ebay/paypal fixes the discrepancy between protecting buyers at the expense sellers. NO PAYPAL. All I want is a even paying field. Cheers douglas "
You know what after having a friend of mine ripped off by an eBay purchaser doing a credit card cancellation and never sending back the Hasselblad . Then having to deal with a dishonest eBay buyer myself- I feel his pain.
