Just because someone is from Nigeria doesn't make them a scammer.

I would send them whatever they want.

Yes me too. Most Nigerians are hard working, honest EBay users. I deal with them all the time.

Heck, half my friends are from Nigeria. Don't let a few bad apples ruin it for the whole country.

That's right. Always trust a Nigerian eBayer.

Both of you need to delete your ebay and paypal accounts, then turn off the computer and stay very very far away.
