Confirmed or not it makes no odds, without full tracking that *you* hold he's going to get the item for free, confirmed address or not.

This is a very notorious Gumtree scam, it happens every minute of every day and it just takes one seller a moments slip to believe they are safe , and scammer is laughing.

Paypal seller protection is exactly the same 'off' ebay as well as on ebay, so *you* need to hold all the cards and have fully insured and tracked online delivery confirmation.

Hi yeah thanks,

I'm aware of that, I use eBay a lot, that's why I asked for company / mentioned I wanted full tracking. This guy is obviously just scamming little twerp so i'm messing with him now. I Want him (or should I say his mate in a van) to drive out to collect the amp then I kick his !!! :D
