Default Ebay Problem **HELP**

Hey all,

Don't know what to do here but my phone has sold to someone on ebay. I don't know how the fuck he's managed to do it but it's gone through. Registered in Nigeria He bought it new member registered a few days ago and wants me to send to Nigeria. I logon today to find he is a no longer registered member of ebay. But he has sent me £145 to my paypal account. I really don't want to send it anywhere since I know it's a scam so what do I do? He has sent me money.

Draw the cash down to your bank account and then cancel the DD so paypal cant reclaim it and post it. Might be worth asking paypal for guidance first though, you never know, it might be genuine (doubt it though )

Edit, just done some more research and wouldn't you fucking know it

This is the buyers registered address
White Greg
93 major road
Motspur Park, London KT36QR United Kingdom

That is the most fake address I've ever seen in my life. That postcode is soo fucking fake Wants me to send to Nigeria and I just checked my paypal no money has gone in. The email he sent wasn't from paypal, he duped it himself

Shall I inform ebay?

it's true that if they are no longer registered, they cannot post feedback, I have to go through the unpaid item process to refund my listing fee though. Fucking pain in the arse.

What really annoys me is I have my preferences to block people who are not registered in th eUK as I only post to UK addresses. The dick is registered in the UK with that fake arse address and then he dupes a paypal email with payment confirmed and all that

My friend had the same thing happen. All fake emails from paypal.

Report it to paypal and ebay is the only thing you can do and just try and sell it to someone genuine!
