Tried to sell my MDA vario on ebay, and some nigerian used the buy it now option

i need ideas on what to tell them. and generally give them the run around.

email is

HI
I am pleased to be the winner of your item. I came to bid on your item because i am buying it and i am going to pay from my paypal account. The item is a gift for a friend of mine who is in Nigeria. I would like you to get back to me with the total cost plus shipping to Nigeria to ******@yahoo.com. Because i am having problem with my ebay email and i wont be able to recieve it. I am going to pay you 70 GBP for shipping to Nigeria via Royal Mail Registered Letter and for inconvininencing you

Thanks for your time.

say that the current weather conditions in England have become very severe and the royal mail has had to cease working atm until the floods go down a bit, this make take up to several months and so it wont be able to be shipped until that date

and recieved this

Hi,

I made a mistake when sending the payment. I am so silly to do that. I sent 700 GBP instead of 400 GBP. When i am thinking of a way to sort this out. I thought of sending the money to my friend because he might need to buy some other things.shipping via Royal Mail First Class registered letter.

What i want you to do for me now is to send the money and the package to him altogether. That is: you will put the money safely into the package.

I think i can count on you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards

I would report this to PayPal asap.

report to ebay.

And don't accept the payment.

They might have hacked into an account and made the payment, you would send the item and when PayPal discovers the fraud reverse the payment

You will be left with nothing

No, Paypal can take the money if you have a direct debit setup. Or suspend your account

Don't take the risk.

And in your next auction: check your selling preferences

REFUND THE PAYMENT
