I was selling an ipod through ebay with a buy it now and indicated that I would only post to the UK. Someone from Nigeria has ended the auction and want me to post it to them. I want it relisted but ebay will want a fee for relisting. What can I do?


Hello,
Please I will like you to mail me back if you know this item is in a good condition and I will like to know how much it will c ost me to send it to my assistant who was just transferred to an oil company in Nigeria and I will like to pay you as fast as possible because it's very urg en t you can send the item before it's too late,so I need your reply with your payment detail along with the total cost of the item and shipment cost fo r the item to Nigeria and I will like it shipped through door to door DHL Express so I will wait to hear from you because this is a very urgent item I don't w ant the shipment getting late I have know problem with the money so I will be paying you via postal order.

I always refuse posting to Nigeria Land, i list it on my description and i would just accept the lost of the listing and final selling fee.

I will not accept £10 going down the toilet.
 
Well, email back and ask them to send payment. If you do actually receive legit POs, then sure cash them in, but can you even buy POs from another country that are cashable in the UK?
 
What is this Nigeria scam? I see it almost on a daily basis about posting to Nigeria and how its a scam, etc
 
lol at the whats 419 pic :S Interesting read, but I still dont understand how this relates to an ebay seller. Example: An Ipod being sold, the seller says "WILL NOT DELIVER TO NIGERIA IF YOU BID IT WILL BE CANCELLED" and so on, or is this just to avoid the country for some reason?
 
I think it's because Nigeria is involved in a lot of scams, not just the "give me your bank details and I'll let you keep some of this £20m" ones. There's also the dodgy cheque for lots more than the selling price scam, or the paypal-and-claim-it-never-arrived one, when he gets a refund off paypal and keeps the money and the goods.
 
The fact is they will claim they are legit and send you a legit link to enter your tracking number in, it just a spoof site. My mate did it and he lost £110 phone, the Royal Mail wont accept lost of it as its still saying its in transit 3 months after.

And getting your money back of Paypal will take a few months.
