So i said i do not accept postal orders and i will not post to west africa.

His reply:

To which i have just replyed with:

You either pay by cheque from a UK bank account or paypal. Those are the only 2 options i accept and are part of the criteria listed in the auction. If you cannot meet these criteria then you shud not have bid. Also i DO NOT SEND ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE UK. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS CONTACT EBAY.

just keep on abusing him!

i had one on ebay this week, gave me his msn laide4ever007@hotmail.com i spoke to him a bit just to see how he would play it, then he emailed me some phony paypal instructions, quite comical actually. he asked if i received payment to which he just received a load of abuse he since blocked me on msn, so i added him to a couple of other accounts and carried on abusing the scamming cunt!

Well, I am completely on your side. If I were to give advice, it would just be to stand firm and don't let him fuck you about.

Dont worry he is not getting the phone or my address. It has just pissed me off that some arsehole has ended my auction and then expects me to post the item to somewhere not listed and accept a payment accont also not accepted.
