I sold a samsung d600 last night on ebay went to send the invoice this morning and the buyers details came up but they have a post code gy6 8da in Bedfordshire?? and there number is an 0208 code. now i may not have ever been down that way but i thought that area would be either a mk postcode or even maybe a LU postcode but not a gy code. the company i worked for 3 years we used postcodes for searches and i never came across a gy postcode in bedfordshire. and also the dialling code of 0208 i thought that was for the london area? I know bedfordshire is nt far but i thought it was to far to still have an 0208 code?
Not sure what to do with this one all help very welcome as i have already had 1 time waster from portugal even though it clearly states post to uk only.

I once had a buyer who had an address listed as Canada but asked it to be sent to an address in Bristol. The guy was working over there and wanted it sent to his mum's. Due to their good ratings I obliged. It would definately be worth checking though.

Call the number listed. Also, tell the person you will only ship to a confirmed address. If he's using paypal, you'll only ship to the address given to you by paypal. One more thing - ask the buyer why he's got a Guernsey post code listed under a Beds. address and a London phone number. It's entirely possible that he works in London and has used his work number on his Ebay contact details. However, the Guernsey post code would bother me.

I have just had a message from this guy he said his account has been hijacked and they have bid on 113 things through his account.

I logged out and tried to log back in again to relist the d600 and it won't let me in i get this message

Check that you are trying to get into the real ebay site... sounds like a very fishy message. You may have some kind of malicious program on your machine that is redirecting you.
