The exact same thing happened to me when I was trying to sell a camera on E-bay. It was an account that was just opened for a day, so that they could "buy now" my camera. Then they sent me a fake paypal with a shipping address in Nigeria. So I reported the fraud to paypal. I also noticed that E-bay can automatically credit your relisting fees if your original buyer is no longer a member. The only thing that sucked was that mine was an expensive camera....so I still had to pay quite a bit for the "winning" fees

Yeah, that's what is happening to me- but I am going to report it as unpaid, therefore I THINK I should get out of everything other than the couple bucks of relist...

I was REALLY hoping that the buy it now was real. I need that 800 bucks. lol.

These guys are honing their entrepreneurial skills in preparation for their illegal emigration to the US. If only we could emulate them. Work hard, study hard.......

Don't mess with these people, it's embarrassing to me.

I considered it, but I need more posts, and I didn't want to just randomly post crap- that's not what the forum is for.
