Royalmail special delievery to lagos nigeria where the wedding will take place.Confirm if this is your paypal email account so that i can proceed first thing tomorrow morning.

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

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.

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 !!!
