ebay scammers wasting my time

First off i sold a nokia 6101 about 3 weeks ago, the buyer never paid and never responded to numerous emails. So finally i relisted it last night, and this morning it had already sold 🙂 As i get to the top of my emails i have one from the buyer and here it is

"Hello, Compliment of the season to you.I am Becky Calvin from New York,but resently i am leading a conventional church program in London. I saw your item below and i will like to buy it for my daughter that will be starting a Computer science course in University of Nigeria Next week.Do not worry about the shipping,i have an account with fedex and i will be sending you my fedex account number for the shipping .Moreover i
would have prefer to send you a cheque but simply because i want you to ship the item first thing tomorrow morning, i will be sending you payment via PayPal,so make sure you get the package ready for tomorrow shipment ok?And kindly send me your paypal address or your contact,so i can make the payment right away."


So now i have to relist the phone for the 3rd time, and the problem is the market value of this phone could change any moment and i could lose money on it. Ok thats my rant for this morning.


Your thread was locked because everybody in the world knows about Nigerian scammers. We don't need 10 posts a week about it.
If you are having problems with an Ebay transaction, handle it through Ebay.
Thank you and enjoy the forums.
