Ive tried to sell a phone on ebay, a Sony Ericsson W810i.
Today, I have relisted it for the 5th time. Yes, four times in a fucking row have these dirty fucking bastard scammers bought it, and I get the usually "Its for my uncles friends daughers neice" and "Please take £100 extra", usually fucking shite like that.
I hate them. I hate eBay more, as they do fuck all, about it. And they blocked my main account last week too, fucking bastards, I need to fax them a copy of my passport to get back on   
Rant Over.

why not restrict buyers?
Changing buyers' requirements would be a good start

When I sell anything on eBay I make sure only people that are UK registered, with a PayPal account, and have no fucked up feedback are allowed to bid on my auctions.

Genuine Nigerian? 
There's options to stop anyone outside UK bidding, also one so only people with a paypal account can bid. I have both enabled and had zero problems.

You lot should learn how to use ebay before you winge...
Simply set your ebay to 'only allow people to bid who reside in countries you ship to'. Then simply don't select Nigeria as a delivery destination. Easy.
