auction spoiling

ragjoy

this item 270103034125 is a sony k750i phone.
i have 1 i intend putting on ebay,i have been watching the prices for a week just to see if its worth selling or keeping as a spare.
the id number above finished at £255,
we know this aint true but what is happening this is not the first one in the last week or so for this to happen.
can anybody explain whats happening,i got an answer from the seller and he said that Nigerians hijack for fraudulent purposes what do they do next.
and i thought i read an option for blocking bidding from abroad can anyone point me to this option.
thanks ragjoy.......

You've got it covered as best you can.

You post to UK only, and won't allow bids from countries to which you don't post. Unfortunately a lot of Nigerian scammers are registered in the UK, or have hacked an account that is, so you can only be vigilant.
