Oh crap, what do I do here?

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

Someone in Nigeria bought my item, and messaged me with the same bs most of us probably heard. What do I here? Please help. Thanks.

I'm just curious, got a link?

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

Yes, sure.

Have him pay you via the rules in your auction: up front. You can always report him to Ebay too since I'm sure they've seen the scam before.

Dont ship to him as you stated you only ship to the following. Did he read your auction.

Will ship to N. and S. America.

Nigeria's not in North or South America like you specified, so you can refuse to send it to him. Of course, if it's one of those "I'll send you a fake money order for twice as much money than what the auction ended for" scams you can also add a nice polite "fuck off" as well.

Is there a option to refuse to sell the item? Should I leave a "polite" feedback to the person?

Also, since this person got my address now, should I worry about future crap from this moron?

I went through this a few weeks ago selling a PS2 with "buy it now".

The dude wanted me to ship to Nigeria, and I said I would if he covered shipping, but I of course never recieved payment. Then the next day, his account was suspended, and he sent me a fake "paypal confirmation" e-Mail saying my account would be suspended. I then clicked on, and logged in, and noticed this dude had all of my contact info he got from using BIN, and had it up on the site, and wanted me to confirm my CC#, and bank account #. I reported him to eBay, IFCC, and PayPal... then after all of this, he STILL wanted the PS2, and sent me a fake paypal receipt, and was going to have "FedEx" come to my house personally to pick it up. Funny shit. I left him an essay long E-Mail of course.

If you get any of those PayPal confirmation E-Mails, go into it, and login with your paypal E-Mail, but use a bogus password, and you'll probably see all of your contact info. If you look at the sellers account, "she" just registered today, and just happened to buy a PS2 from you, so it's most likely the same scam. I'd report them to eBay aSaP.

Screw all of that, I just reported Ebay on this guy, and blocked his email, and blocked his buyer name on Ebay.

Is there anything else I should worry about? Thanks for the advice.

I wouldn't be too worried about anything. It just sucks having to pay relisting fees due to shit like this. Hopefully eBay will find away to discourage people from registering these dummy accounts eventually.

[Griking]

The bidder's already NARU so don't even worry about it.

Well, I emailed Ebay about that. And I hope they could remove that fee, as well give me back the credit for putting up the PS2 for sale.
