ahh yea i came across this same problem basically, you want the money in the bank ( paypal or watever ) NEVER never! accept Western Union Money transfer great scam to take you products n never get paid n Vice Versa... plus dont accept cheques from these people.
if he is persistant with v bad english...  then u know something is up. retract the auction.
the reason why they want to send it to nigeria is there is a massive black market for anything mobile and they get good money for selling over there.
 hope this has been some help

well so far ( as far as i know ) he might have not done nothing wrong. u can just say i wont post to anywhere appart from the billing address of the person who is bidding for it. u can let ebay know.
also find out his record on ebay check out how many negetive feedback he had etc...
send me his user link in U2U or something n i check it out for ya if u want

report him as an unpayin bidder, choose the buyer wants the item shipping to a country i dont ship to as a reason, u should get your listing fee back, then you can relist and forget about it

I know its a bit late now but you can filter out people bidding on your items if they have low/poor feedback or are not from the uk. I had the same problem when I was selling a phone one there.
