    someone may have funds sitting in their Paypal account, but cant transfer it to their bank for some reason, maybe bank account is overdrawn....so they get cash this way, at a price of course...

    I can't see the silver strip on the twenty which should show up in the photo. Also the paper doesn't seem to be falling right - it's usually the strip and the paper that makes fakes obvious.

    I think it's just fake money: sold as seen refers to the lack of strip in the photo.

    If it was fake, why would he be selling it for MORE than it was worth??

    Surely if he prints £100 in fake notes then he should be selling them for less than their face value not more

    he's obviously going to try to get as much money as he can for them but added a best offer option as he probably expected less. I still can't get my head around the fact that someone (a buyer in the UK) paid £120!! My theory is that he expects notes to be real and then pretends never to have received them. I don't think the seller would be able to insure £100 sent in post so would have no proof of postage. Buyer could just say that a blank envelope came.

    In any case, the buyer must either be extremely stupid or extremely crooked :confused:
    :D

    Will be interesting to see the feedback on this one.

    it doesn't seem like a fake to me, if people are dumb enough to pay £120 for £100.

    You make £20 :p
