Well folks, been busy and only answered my scammer this evening. I doubt if he'll reply now, but you never know. My reply below.

Hi Ian,
My sincerest apologies to you, I'm very sorry for not being in contact sooner. As you know, I had to go to Stornoway last Monday. Anyway, I had intended to return in the afternoon but the wind got up and it was blowing a right hooley. I'm afraid the afternoon ferry was cancelled, as was the evening one. I had to stay overnight. As I had some business to do in Edinburgh on Wednesday, and in order to save a little time, I flew directly from Stornoway in the morning. Well, I had a great time, did some business then went to see a couple of bands at the Hard Rock Cafe. I'm afraid I ended up having a little too much amber nectar and eventually up at the Genting Club with a few friends. To cut a long story short, it's a Casino and I lost a fortune playing poker! Knowing that I still had to pay you for the camper, I was in a bit of a panic. I flew back up at the weekend and headed straight for the Uists, (Benbecula), this Monday morning. I had a brilliant week of deals and made up my losses from the gambling and a few hundred quid extra to boot. I'm just home this evening (Friday) absolutely shattered.
Anyway, enough rambling. I won't be offended if you've sold on the camper after my misfortune/fortunes but if you've still got it, do we still have a deal? If yes, do I still pay into the last bank account details you gave me, or into another account?
Many apologies,
MJM.

and the language is a bit odd.

I agree, really weirdly worded.  The £100 postage isn't right either is it?

You've got me looking for these now!

Me too. The camp-let Savanne went for £1825 (plus £35 postage!). I fear someone is going to be very upset - hope it is no-one on here

I saved this ebay listing to see if there was any feedback after the sale.

The seller already appears as 'No longer a registered user' and details of the camplet sale have been removed so hopefully ebay have saved the buyer from being caught out after the sale.
