eBay False Buyer?
8 Answers
Some guy (with 0 previous purchases) clicked the Buy It Now link on my auction, waited a day then sent me an email saying:
"Compliment of the day,I am Mr Herbert Isaac From USA, but prensently in holland on a business trip. I saw your item advert on ebay and i'm interested in buying it for my son who is studying a Computer Science Course in the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Get back to me as soon as possible and don't forget to send me the total cost including the cost of shipping to Lagos, Nigeria.
I will be sending you my payment via PayPal,So kindly send me your (PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS) so as to immediately make out my payment.Make sure you get the package ready for immediate or next day shipment okay?.Plz i want the item to be shipped via Royal Mail First Class Express shipping to Nigeria. Expecting your reply so as to immediately make out my payment.
Regards"
Sounds totally bogus to me, especially when I explicitly stated that I only ship to UK. Do I just mark the auction as "payment not received" to have it listed again as it was?
