I've been selling for a while now but I have yet to come across this. I had an item that should sell for about 400.00( Blackberry 8320 ). There was an influx of Nigerian bidders at the end to jump it well over that. I put in the auction that i only ship to the USA. I know it's some kind of scam but what are they getting out of it?? I only ship when I get an instant Paypal payment. How could they benefit?? What's the Rub? Downside for me Now I have to re-list it and wait.

That Bidder has won a lot of stuff on Ebay lately !! No shot you are getting paid...

Can't tell if there are any Real bidders on the list, Ebay has changed the way you can see other bidders when something is over $200

If a Real bidder is anywhere near the $400 price , offer a second chance Offer to that person..

Otherwise, just re-list it and when the 7 days has past and you didn't get paid, file NPB or whatever they call it now. you will get your fees back.

How did you see my transaction? I extended a 2nd chance offer. however this looks like a total scam. I wouldn't take the secondchance. It looks shady.

Easy to track your sell on Ebay.... You're the ONLY ONE to sell that Blackberry 8320 for $2,700 !!! :nohead:

They probably stole an account and are buying things through them. I had this happen to me years ago. The person who owns this account probably does not even know that they bought this item.

They will pay using a credit card payment that will initially go thru, then it will be rejected.

They removed the listing already and credited me the fees. 60.00 final value fee. thats a ton. Imagine me see my phone go from 340.00 with 10 minutes to 2750.00 almost 3 dimes for a cell phone. I was hoping it was like a prince from Nigeria that was just in need of this phone. Coming to America style. I ill admit I had my fingers crossed it was going to be an instant pay to paypal. I would have died.

Not to be a dick but you are seriously naive if you thought for one second that this was legit. Even if it was a prince why wouldn't they just use one of the million buy it nows that are listed for any number of phones. Like I said before it was most likely a stolen account. If you sell electronics on Ebay you are pretty much going to get what it is worth. The fun of selling on ebay is selling collectables, you are never sure what it will end up going for. I used to sell old toys and made a killing.
