Subject description: if its a scam, I'm gonna erage!
 

I'm I just paranoid or is this a fraud waiting to happen? Because I am no fool and I'm not going to waste time bullshitting.

He said he needs me to ship it out to his address so the payment will go through. This was emailed to me saying the payment went through to my paypal. Funny thing is it hasn't shown up on my "recent activities list". Atleast it should show its "pending" but nothing at all. I ain't doing it, I'm just going to relist my item and move on, what do you guys think?

Another thing is that his eBay account has been canceled just recently.

The general rule is: If it's from Nigeria, it's a scam. The normal "Nigerian Scams" were recently restricted to larger items such as vehicles, but people are becoming wise to those so they are moving on to other things.

I know a guy from Zimbabwe and they despise Nigerians for this very reason. go figure.

Eh, Nigerian scams. And yes, I did notice grammar and punctuation errors that were odd. Misspelled words and all, if anything I'll have to read up on eBay's buyer/seller beware faq. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hah, what a loser. He should burn in hell for that shit. Shocked

But yeah this should be reported to the eBay team but I'm assuming this kind of thing happens every now and then. They'll probably give you some info. on how to handle this kind of situation if they haven't already, considering you said he recently canceled his account with eBay. Good luck!
