I sold an item yesterday to a person in Holand, who wants me to send it to Nigeria! Fine. But she has no feedback, and i received this pay pal email saying I've been paid but I can't collect the £ until I've posted it. I am a little unsure. The whole sale came to over a hundred pounds and i really need the £, I can't afford to be ripped off! Has anyone see this email before:

I've received 3 emails. Here are two:

Hi, i`ve been bying and selling on Ebay for nearly 5 years and in that time i have never had this proceedure from abroad. With Nigeria being mentioned also i would be very very suspicious. Perhaps contact Ebay and Paypal regarding this but i would certainly not go ahead.

Thank you. I thought as much. I said postage was £20. They bumped it up to £30!!!

I'm so glad i didn't send it.
