Possible Ebay scam or not ??

[azev]

Someone bought a dell server I had posted on ebay, and paid me using a non registered paypal account. The buyer also insist me to ship immediately because his network are down and the server he bought is to replace the current down server.
This is kinda fishy I think, what do you guys think ??

Thanks

if you have to ask, yes its a scam

edit: just read the thread. what kind of system admin buys a server off ebay when he needs it immediately? if you need it that bad, i'm going to go to a store or order it from a reputable company and get next day shipping. this guy is an idiot, scam or not.

Only ship to registered Paypal addresses, bottom line. Anything other than that is just inviting a problem.

All of the above posts are correct. File a complaint with eBay/PayPal and get it relisted.

In the meantime, order some nuke strikes to Nigeria, STAT! 😉

Reject the payment and mention the reason why you have rejected it.
