Here's the email back from the seller (jp3inbox@gmail.com). From what I'm seeing, almost all the scammers doing this use almost the same verbiage:

Hi
The item is brand new in box with all accessories.
I am now outside USA so i can only ship the item to you.The shipping is free and i will also ship with insurance
So we can be both protected i want to use an escrow company if you want to continue with the deal.In this way the transaction is safe.I ship the item ,the shipping company will inform you that the shipping was made and will instruct you how to make the payment.The payment will be sent to the shipping company not to me and will be release to me only after you will get the item and inspect it.You have 3 days to inspect it and only after if you decide to keep my item you will give your approve so i can get the money from the shipping company
I think this is the best way
I have 5 available.I can offer a disccount if you buy more
If you agree let me know as soon as possible
Have a nice day
