Just sold my laptop on ebay, but it now. The perosn who purchased it made their account today and has requested payment details on a buy it now? surely they could just pay like you normally woudl do through buy it now?

Bit of help because i havnt sold many items on ebay.
 
See im not sure on this invoice stuff, my other purchases were as follows:

Listed item
opened email after a period of time, emai lreads "you have recieved payment for blah blah blah" then followed the other stuff and printed the label ect and sent it off.

But what worries me most is that they ask how much they owe me? but the price is right there in fron of them
 
Hi seller am very glad that i won your item on ebay i like to see the claer picture of the item also get back to me with your paypal money request or paypal email address so that i can make the payment as soon as i receive your paypal email address send it to my paypal account [email protected] best regard

does that look odd to you?
 
Right, phoned up ebay customer support, what a massive load of good that was, tried phoning this guy, no answer, dont even think its a real number. Waiting for a reply, then re listing it
 
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.

OLALEKAN BILL
92, akoko st opebi road
Agege, Lagos State

Nigeria.

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.
Please get back to me ASAP with the shipping tracking number of the item shipped.NOTE: Please wrap the item carefully, write GIFT on the paper. Please don't use any other postage service except Royal Mail INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY.and do not write the value of the item on it I'm very sorry for the inconvenience I may cause you.

Regard
Bill

Im writing a polite e-mail that I wont ship it to nigeria as it clearly is a scam of somekind.

No need to be like that now is there?

No, I am not an idiot. Everything has been sorted, I have been refunded and item is being relisted. I never said it wasnt fake, hence why I didnt send it and got it solved
