ALMOST GOT SCAMMED selling on ebay! KUDOS to ANANDTECH for warning me!

So yeah, i am trying to sell a OCZ modstream PSU. A few hours after I listed it, someone bought it and quickly paypaled me the amount in FULL and ask me to ship out the package ASAP. His address is unconfirmed!!

E-mailing the user several times resulted no reply. In the end, I retracted the sale and refunded his $ and I still got no reply...looks fishy...

i thought you got scammed when they didn't pay you for something...

or did they use someone's account and are now trying to have you ship it to the thief's addess???

Paypal can later demand the funds.

I always pay within minutes of buying or the auction ending. Of course I always answer emails too.

Give it a day or two lol...

amazing how seller like you assuming everyone on ebay is trying to scam you. I assume the PSU is <$100, if I am a scammer, I will be going after a fx55 instead. you just cause yourself more hassles. PWNED.

Bah I would keep the money and not ship until paypal says they want it back.
