Can you explicitly state on your auction that you will not ship to another address, that you will only accept sale as is, no third party delivery and upon any request pertaining to such an action the auction will be immediately cancelled? This account is located in the U.S. so I think it's stolen? But my god, it's so damn hard to find where you need to go to report this to ebay. They make it so easy to sell, but when things go wrong you gotta wade through pages and pages of info. [thumbdown] |

I got banned from ebay last year for reporting one of them Nigerian scammers.
The reason I got banned was because they said I was the scammer that I reported ![]() I had perfect 100% feedback ,sent my details of to ebay to prove I wasn't the scammer that was trying to scam myself & they still didn't give me my account back. So if you going to report them to ebay be careful, because they are a bunch of idiots who work there.[cursing] |

I think you guys are over reacting and just depriving Nigerians of the items that they have won fair and square. You guys are bias and you shouldn't, not all of the Nigerians are scammers, right? Maybe this guy's story is true, which is a 90% possibility btw, and his son is sitting thre in his dorm or in his room or what ever he happens to be doing, without a goddam XBOX! All you white people from America and Europe make me sick! Not only you ruin their culture, enslave their people, slow don't the progress of their self-sufficient independance, and now you racists are not even sending the goods that these good people of Nigeria won on Ebay? If these people were from America, you would sent the goods right away...

The way to get around it is to only set eBay to only allow Paypal, thus only Paypal registered eBay accounts...this way, only accounts linked to a Paypal account can bid! |

1) stipulate in the auction that you won't ship any where odd e.g. if you live in the U.S. say you won't ship out of the U.S. If you live in europe stipulate that you won't ship out of europe.
2) Don't ship until that money is in your hands. I for one would never ship on good faith alone that someone whom you've never met is just going to pay you. Make sure they do before you send the item. problem solved. |
