lol this is the nigerian scam. I'm surprised you didn't know about this. It's been going on for a very long time.

Their are some variations, but ALWAYS, ALWAYS, will he say he will send immediate payment and after that you must immediately ship the item to his location using the shipping company he (sometimes) has vouchers for.

The very smart scammers will offer you a higher price, then tell paypal you scammed them and they gave you too much money on accident and wont get it back. You'll get no money, no product, and you'll be screwed.

Somebody tried to do this to me on craigslist. I went along with it and asked for their shipping address, and then gave it to the cops.

"Greetings to you.I am Mr David XXXX from Brookyln,NY .I'm contacting you concerning your item on Ebay which i eventually became the winning bidder for your item.Morever i'm presently serving our beloved nation here in Ca with the United Nation and i intend sending this item to my GrandSon as suprise gift who works with the American Embassy in Lagos,Nigeria as a consular."

I have about 9 years eBay experience, that is NOT LIGIT. I have never actually seen scamming pulled that way before, but its pretty smart. He is using a phished paypal account to try to pay for the item and then have it shipped to him in nigeria. Then when the account owner notices the amount will be charged back and you will be out of your $125.00 and your PS2.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

Just another reason to only ship to VERIFIED PayPal account addresses.

You guys realize I KNOW it's a scam...correct?

I've gotten plenty of these emails before...but usually, they don't actually bid on my item, or BUY IT NOW, before sending me an email. This ******* used the BIN, so now I have to relist it.

Yea that ****in sucks. They tried that bullshit with me on craigslist. I didnt know they were doing that dumb shit on ebay. Sucks for ebay fees. Make sure you report back with what ebay says. Hopefully that dont act like dicks and refund you quickly.

They are usually pretty reasonable, it may take like 5 days but they will likely refund it.

Randy, I know its your stuff and all, but in all honesty, I think it may be a scam. I would suggest not to follow through with this man's request. You may not get your money.
