EBAY GURUS! Need a little help here.

[Chunkee]

That I sell it to him. He is offering a credit card payment of over 600 more than what my BUY NOW price is. He wants me to ship FEDEX overnight.

His registration is new to ebay Oct 28th.

Shipping would probably be like 100 bux or more dont you think?

Sounds fishy and dont want to sell to someone that has phoney credit card or one that has been stolen.

What do you think?

Sell it now! You will make a ton or money!1!!!1!!!



:roll:

 

[Kermy]

Uh stay away. Tell him to go take a hike. NO GO! RED ALERT!

 

[NutBucket]

Fishy Fishy Fishy

 

[whattaguy]

what are you selling?

Tell him the only way that you are going to sell it is after the money clears.

 

[pancho619]

Don't risk it. Sounds very fishy, especially if he's willing to pay $600 more than what you're asking. Tell him if he's really interested to send you another form of payment not involving credit card.

A common scam.

 

[jamesave]

don't let him buy it. A lot of fraud comes from that country.

Credit Card is bad.... tell him to wire you the money and watch him run

 

[Phoenix86]

Foreign country, check.
Offering to pay more than needed, check.
Not cash, check.

I don't know, sounds good to me.

1. take his credit card payment
2. ship the item
3. find out the credit card is stolen
4. loose all the money and the item
5. profit .........er............ I mean, don't profit

You must be new to ATOT if you have not seen this exact scenario discussed dozens of times before.

Can you think of any reason a legitimate buyer would offer hundreds of dollars MORE than a BIN price, even when shipping is factored in? There isn't one.

 

[AnyMal]

Tell him you will accept a Western Union payment. You'll never hear from him again.

 

[aircooled]

I sell to lower 48 only. It's just easier that way.

Sell the item, ship him a big bag of dog poop in a box. Wait for the CC to get rejected but he gets a nice surprise too.

In the off chance it really is valid, you can just say "Oops, sent the wrong package" and send the right one.

[GasX]

What part of "If it sounds too good to be true..." did you not understand?

 

[MBony]

I still want to know what kind of item you are selling.
