Default Selling your PDA to Malasia/Nigeria ? SCAMMER or not ?

Hi everyone.

Im wanting replies from worldwide. especially Nigeria and Malasia.

I sold my PDA on ebay to a guy in Malasia, and he wants me to post it to Nigeria.
He wants to pay by postal order. So i have quoted him £358.00 total price.
and i told him i won't post it until payment is recieved.

It sounds like a SCAMMER... right?

The line 'Im buying it as a birthday gift' came up in an email...

I suppose if payment arrives, it arrives. If not I can relist it...
It's just a pain in the a$$.

Just as you say, wait for the payment to arrive. If it doesn't arrive within the timeframe you told the buyer to pay within, just list it again. ALso check out his feedback and see if he has bought more stuff like PDA's, phones, assecoiries etc and see if he paid in time...If he has not bought anything like this before and his feedback is negative, be very carefull.

His feedback was zero.
he registered ten minutes before buying my PDA.
he gave two fake addresses.

I have left him negative feedback.
I have recovered my final value fee,
and i can relist the item for free.

Yep, that was a scammer allright. Good that you did not fall for it. Better luck with your next auction.
