AAAGH!!! Silly eBayer AGAIN

I listed a phone 2 days ago at 8pm, woke up in the morning and somebody bought it at 2am! Wahey I thought, untl they wanted me to post it Nigeria :rolleyes:

The ebayere tried to scam somebody else and became not registered, eBay gave me back the final value fee.

I relisted today somebody else bought it again, Wahey! they a new ebayer with a POLISH address even though i said UK only :mad:

Now what should I do?! I'm going to be out of pocket big time by this rate!

Please help and suggest!

    use the "ban" fuction to get rid of potential bids from anyone who seems in the slightest bit dodgy?
    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.
  • if they pay with a postal order surely that is safe .....isn`t it ????
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)
