Amazon v EBay Nigerian Scammmers

Having been selling on Amazon for less than a week I was just going to give you the current score:-
3 years of EBay trading:- 1 Nigerian in 3 years
5 Days of Amazon trading:- 2 Nigerians per day!!!
The problem is you just can not risk being rude straight away it might be a genuine buyer.
Points to look out for:-
1. Any e-mail asking how much it will cost...pricing and postage are clear unless they are overseas
2. Poor grammar and spelling in e-mails (but many MSE folk suffer from that too!!)
3. One thing that has cropped up is the send a mail about item A through Amazon but refer to item B.
I would like to point out that they are very courteous....lol
