it can be reversed...

if they pay via a 'hacked' paypal or fraud wise, paypal can and will reverse the payment from you

also will reverse if they do an 'e-check' and it bounces, so you will have money for a week or 2 and then it gets returned...

happened to me once, paypal were no fookin help

i was sent £170 thru paypal once sent off teh goods... day later it was all taken from my account as it was fraudulent money....

paypal sed they were sorting it out but they dont give a toss!

People have sent laptops out for £500+ and its not until 2 or 3 weeks later until the funds are found out to be dodgy... and the seller is left with FUK ALL

be carefull!!

Hello seller,
Thanks for the advert and i will first want to know if this item is in good condition and if yes i will want to send it to my friend in Nigeria that was attacked by armed robbers on her way to work,she called me to tell me that she was robbed of her gold wrist watch,chain,money and phone and was beaten up and now she is in the hospital but i told her not to worry that i will send a phone to her soon because that is how we could communicate and she is a very good friend of mine,i want you to know that i will be paying GBP 200 for the total cost which will include the shipping and insurance cost to Nigeria via DHL express or parcel force so that she can get the phone fast as she is not very happy now and am not also happy because of her state,so i will want you to please do this big favour forme and i will be very grateful.I hope you understand and i will need your full infomation so that i can make the payment via Paypal,Postal Order or bank transfer immediately cos i want the phone to get to her very fast so please that is the reason why am paying such an amount for the item to be ship fast.i hope to hear from you soon.God bless you and your family.
Thanks.
