Help with ebay scammer
Just sold a phone on ebay. The winner had a feedback score of 78, but sent me the following email, even though I specified Paypal only:
Hi, Before i pay for the item i wanted to know if you would accept a pick up, it would save you money on paypal and if you want i would help in crediting your final value fee, that way you would get exactly the ammount i won the auction for (£100) and won't have to pay any fees, but only problem is that i want to pick it up tomorrow, because i need a phone asap, so if you can do tomorrow then please let me know now and please give me a time scale, because i would be coming from London.. Please advise.. Many thanks..
Anyhoo, I declined his kind offer, and he paid by Paypal, but still seemed strangely obsessed with picking the phone up. Obviously I suspected a Charge-back type scam, so refunded his money and reported it to ebay.
My question is: can he still neg me though?
