    Even if you've sent an invoice, unless you are willing to accept the loss of your phone and your money, you would be well advised to NOT complete this purchase. Yes, you'll probably get a negative, but you have to decide if NOT getting a negative is worth the cost of the phone and the money.

    I didn't think you can block zero feedback buyers...just negative feedback people? There is a further block you can do on zero feedback people but that requires buyers to have a credit card on file.

    Anyway, here's some interesting reading for you:

    taney, this is the most common scam ever. I suggest you do a Google search using scam and Nigeria and you will be shocked.

    Ignore the buyer, they are a scammer so will not persue you for feedback or anything anyway. Send the email to ebay with full headers and relist the phone.

    Set your seller preferences to say that you do not accept bids from people in countries that you do not ship to, and add a sentence to your new phone auction to say that you will not ship overseas especially to Nigeria so don't bother asking.
