Ebay will refund you... just do the deadbeat/non-paying bidder procedure...

I've had a few non paying bidders, one even left me a negative feedback because he wanted me to ship before he paid... lol...

I just got an email for the guy. here is what it said. what do you guys think?

I agreed to pay the amount you want as buy it now and any additional money for the shipping.but i am using this opportunity to inform you that the amount that will be on the moneyorder will more than ur item fees.i don"t really know the exact amount it will be.bcos it will be issue by my client.and the reason of the over payment is that.the amount on the moneyorder has been signed,and it is more than ur item fees.so once you receive it.you must deduct ur item fees and westernunion the balance money to my client manager in africa.and the item is going to africa.

there will be no problem about the shipment.i want you to responsible for it.also make sure you deduct ur item fees and westernunion any aditional money on the m/o once you receive it.Here will go.i want you to go and end the auction for me asap.to asure you that i am realy intrested in ur item.i will add extra $5.00 in ur payment if you end the auction for me asap.and email me ur full name and address which you want the payment to be addressed to with phone# asap today.

Below are the questions i have for you.

1)is the item in good condition?

2)is any westernunion location where you to send the balance money money arround you?

3)can you make sure you get the m/o cash at ur bank the sameday you receive it?

typical 419 scam email, the money order will either be fake, or from some unknowing person being scammed.
