Gryph Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Only send the merchandise when money is on your hand. That's when you provide tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Correct. If you did not receive the money after 14 days, you can lodge a report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 yeah the auction hasnt even ended, and he supposedly sent me 370 dollars (70 for shipping 300 for item) for an ipod that costs 250 new his address is somewhere in nigera and all the email address are in the email are from emailaccount.com on top of that the "paypal" email came from services@paypalinfo.com which makes NO sense flock this guy im not sending crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thanks for the help, i contacted ebay and paypal about it and it was indeed a scam, the user is being investigated or something now that pisses me off that the first time i try to sell something on ebay someone tries to rip me off >_< whatever though at least i didnt enter any account info or anything and his attempt failed. I basically emailed him saying that i got a bunch of fake emails and im not sending crap until i receive a real payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibathedog Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 well i recognized it as a scam, but i figured id go along with it for awhile in case it wasnt The second he said he wanted to pay with not traditional standards all kind of red flags went off, but in hopes of maybe getting 370 dollars i went along with it for as long as possible, it didnt surprise me when it turned out to be a scam though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I think that's why people put "will ship to US only." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
