If you relist make sure you select some conditions of sale, that way you can block new users and people with a bad histiry etc

I have, no one is interested

I have, no one is interested

its too expensive then, reduce price with a 24 hour price drop and repeat untill you find the right price

If you ship your laptop to them then more fool you.

I would be going nowhere near them.

+1 The language they use screams scammer

No you don't, where have you got this from?

 

[Xire]

although I dont have access to the members market, i imagine a price reduction would still benefit you. Remember Ebay take a massive 10% of the total sale not to mention paypal also take a percentage.

I recieved a few emails form ebay today, they state that firstly he was suspended for various reasons, then that his account was due for review and passed. Then Paypal sent me an email informing me that I have been sent £717. Odd I thought as It was only up for £600 plus "15 for postage. Then I get this email:

Hello Seller,
i am sorry for the late payment i was have a slide problem with my ebay account due to no make payment in time but have resolve the issue hope you got a notification from them if you have not yet seen the notification you can check your spam box It is my pleasure to inform you that I have carried out your payment via PayPal. I want it sent to my Son in Republic of Nigeria for his birthday present gift. I would have asked you to post it to my eBay address in United kingdom (UK) but I've gone for a business trip to Germany, here is the delivering address of my Son.

I want you to ship the item Today to Nigeria via Royal mail post service Mail SIGNED-FOR so that the item will get there ASAP, and I've added you extra £40 the postage cost to Lagos Nigeria.

Just say you've sent it and forgot to put gift, but told them the value of the item inside is over £10,000.

 

[TheYoungster]

Paypal don't use basic grammar?

I don't always but i'm proving a point...

 

[LEK-89]

Scam written all over it mate, avoid.

Is there anyway we/I could get one over on this *******?

no just leave it, really not worth the time. there's hundreds of these idiots all over the net. you will do nothing to change that.

the Nigerian police fortunately are fully aware of such scammers though and do a lot to stop them.
