Nervous transaction through eBay/Paypal.

[Spamalot]

Which buyer in his right mind would pay direct into to some random person bank account?

In my experience lots.

follow your instincts, OP. if something seems like a scam, it usually is.

 

[Azza]

It's a con!!!

I've just found your auction and the winning bidder is bidding on 3 macbooks. the most recent bid in the last hour. Give me 2 min I'll get a screen shot

Your auction ended 4 days ago

Nice find.



Obligatory sort your life out stop using IE comment.

Thanks mame, I tried to find it but couldn't. Looks like you've got a chancer, report him to eBay.

 

[Craterloads]

In my experience lots.

You dont use member market here I take it? Or ebay all that often? BACS is very popular.

Relist you're auction then report the buyer, and when e-cheque comes thru just refund him and wash your hands of it.

Also say to cancel auction be polite say feedback is too low so you're not billed by eBay.

0 feedback and £1000+ 1st ebay activity= SCAM. Walk away mate simply not worth the risk

What has members market got to do with eBay? Yes bacs is popular on the members market, a different medium to eBay. I'm a business seller on eBay with 3 account with feedback totalling 5000+ between the accounts, so yes I do use eBay often

Wait for payment to arrive. Wait seven days and you may find in that time the payment will have bounced. If not send a refund using the refund button on paypal.

Then you can reclaim fees.

The person who works at a bank which hold the account or has a friend at that bank.

 

[NeoVo]

I'd definitely be sceptical seeing #60.

 

[Feek]

Good find.

 

[Robbo]

Even before that screenshot I was going to say you'd be an absolute idiot to send a £1000 laptop (or anything for that matter) to anyone who sounds even remotely dodgy.

This 'buyer' sounds extremely dodgy from the off.

 

[Sipha]

So are eBay now going to charge me for this sale if I cancel it ?

Do i contact them and let them know its a scam ?
