Is this a potential Facebook scam and if so how would it work?
Hi all Sorry for another one of these threads! I'm usually pretty good at sniffing out scams. This latest situation doesn't smell quite right, but on the other hand I can't see how it would work as a scam... I have an item of furniture for sale and was contacted by someone who is very keen to buy it and in the opening…

EBay Seller - Problem
I find EBay sellers with a collection address that just has a name but no number, a BIG problem. They often don't volunteer additional information to help the buyer find them and provide it, only when asked. Sometimes the additional information doesn't always help and I have to make a decision as to how much effort I am…

ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY COMPENSATION
I sent an item sold on eBay that was sent via Special Delivery. It was sent in 2 special delivery envelopes, and bubble wrapped.

Where do you meet?
When selling something via Facebook or Gumtree, for instance, where do you meet your buyer for collection? I once had a buyer who was a little mentally unstable and ended up sitting in my house for 3 hours testing an external RAID Drive, chatting as though he was my friend or something, telling me how he'd been in trouble…
