This sounds like a recent scam where the seller wants you to buy through Google Wallet and they will ship the article to you. They claim if you are not satisfied they will refund your money. The forms they send you look exactly like they come from Google - but they do not! Do not be taken in! These folks are from overseas. I answered an add for an item which was supposedly "in storage" in a small town in Ohio. I offered to pick it up (because I had been warned this was a scam) and the seller stopped communicating with me. I have seen sewing machines, a conversion van, and cars offered this way. There was a big story on a local news program last week where a young girl lost $2500 on a car - she sent the money (because it was such a good buy) and paid through Google Wallet but never received the car. The website she went through was no longer available.
