oh my god - i got this exact same email just before xmas - i was selling a PS2 game for my son and i had the same weird email but the last bit said they wanted it so their son could use it for his English classes. I just assumed it was a nutter who obviously either didnt speak very good English and had no idea what PS2 games were or it was some sort of scam - but i couldnt work out what sort of scam - sorry i'm very niave and can nvere work out scams etc - lol !!0

I've just removed 4 people from a mobile phone auction cos they didnt have any feedback and only joined ebay today - 3 out of the 4 emailed and asked to post to Nigeria and were bidding ridiculous prices... I hope i've done the right thing!!
These people are really annoying! I know its not in ebays interest as an organisation to do anything but surely it will make the whole process collapse if EVERY person that advertises a mobile phone or product of any value gets scammers bidding on it? I'm getting annoyed and as a ebay seller thats not good news for ebay - you can't use the product as its intended as innocent people are getting scammed!! Surely they should be able to ban people from IP address etc? They must be able to do something and they should do something cos otherwise its gonna get so bad that people will refrain from selling things on there!!Official DFW Nerd 210
