Personally it looks dodgy after what i've read on here.

cheers people

 

Paypal is not secure

You can bet a day or so after you receive the payment paypal will claim it back

I won't ship outside of the UK anymore

Say you've sent it, quote here a special delivery number (you can pick up the slips in the post office) then wait a few days

 

See Nigeria in ANYTHING requiring money, assume it's a scam...

 

cheers guys, have offered it as a second chance to the next bidder. You backed up what i thought !!

Many thanks

 

And you stated this in the acution why cant people read

 

THINKS ITS BECOS SHE/HE IS FRENCH AS THAT IS WHERE THE E-MAIL WAS FROM

 

Plus u can't send stuff Special Delivery outside the the UK...it becomes "International Signed For" which is different

Deffo a Scan

 

Ive had a nightmare selling a few old phones on ebay.

I use the "only allow bidders from countries I ship to feature" but still get Nigerian scammers all the time. They manage to register with UK addresses and bid on loadsa stuff. I had a buy now on a phone and it was bought a relisted 3 times in 24 hours due to these!!!

Ebay seem to shut their accounts within hours of them registering but its too late by then. They refund your final value fee but not your listing fee.

They need to stop these idiots being able to sign up with UK addresess.

 

thanks for the info peeps

 

hey up guys i had one of these emails asking to update my paypal account looked doggy so sent a copie to paypal and there said there did not send it and do not reply little bastards

 

Never log in anything from an e-mail !!!
Always go to the site and log in that way.

Also, watch out for fake paypal e-mails. People are copying the contence of a paypal e-mail and sending them when they have won an auction to the seller. You get the e-mail saying you have been paid for your item but the money isn't in your account !!!

Keep an eye out !!!

 

let the winning bidder send the fucker,up to them not you.spesh when you stated it.ebays getting worse,someones gonna pop up soon with a safer auction site,scam free!
