You can also pic the option where u have to approve the bidders before their bids are acceoted or you have an option to decline. Anyone from africa nigera def stay away from.

They wil also use titles suc as Dr. to make you think that it is a trustworthy person when in reality its s dirty scamming piece of shit.....I have asked ebay about what they are doing about this......there have been sting operation in nigera shutting down (scam houses) which are rooms full of computers where people sit and scam as many peope as possible.....but other than that there isnt much they can do since somone can jsut creat a new accout false information all the stuff

your english sucks almost as much as the scammers....

because $400 isn't alot of money when you are running an illegal operation. My favorite is when they offer like 15k for the item and ask you to return the unused portion of the money...

In any case screw Africa, just don't ship there period.. Same with Canada and the UK. People do the same scams but have UK/Canada addresses
