Sold a phone to a Nigerian
flyer
Posts: 2,288 Forumite
OK, I'm new to ebay so I thought I would come here for some advice.
Last week I put a phone on ebay, somebody bought it, but now their profile is "No longer a registered user".
So I relisted it today and Ebay said it did not qualify for a free relist. Now it has been bought by a Nigerian 10 minutes after I relisted!! I suspect it will be a scam of some sort but, presumably when I go to relist it again, I will get charged again!! Why am I paying all the time?

Sorry it's not clicky - can't do those. Cut and paste the address into your browser
and it should take you there.

You MUST select your buyer requirements to UK only.
You must also send it special delivery.
For the first person who bought it, open up a "non paying buyer" dispute, and when they don't respond in 7 days, you'll get your fees back.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Yes, UK only. No Royal Mail international services will insure phones for more than 39 pounds.0
