URGENT opinion, my phone auction.

katepnlo

I put a mobile phone on ebay, buy it now with best offer. well i have had two offers, the second person made an offer and has now said she will pay full price...but something about the two peoples message worry me and i don't know if i am worrying for no reason. here are the two messages:

hi
i am going to buy your handset
please send me today and i will receive tomorrow till 1pm. i will thankful to you. i will pay you by paypal.
thanks


second

hi
if you accept £55 then tell me can you send me
this phone tomorrow urgent or special delivery which one they will post me next day. i will pay you extra postal charges for special delivery.
thanks


they sound very similar???

katepnlo

both uk addresses

lindens

and both sound like nigerian scammers, terrible grammar,
whats their feedback like?

katepnlo

She has bought the phone on buy it now. It was the grammar that worried me after reading about all the scams.
she has paid by paypal,confirmed user confirmed address feedback of 107. Ebay details match her paypal. funds are in my account.

She wants it sent to the paypal registered address, am i worrying for nothing?? her surname is not English, maybe english isn't her first language which is why the grammar is like it is?

Sounds ok so far. Do you qualify for seller protection?

custardy

yup and SD covers you again so i would just go with it.

katepnlo

yes it says eligable for sellers protection

was just worried, with all the scams going on i was worried about going with ebay for this. just want to be sure

Hintza

Agreed just ensure you send SD and fill in tracking details on Paypal and you should be fine. Ensure you have a note of the IMEI number and all should be OK.

GregtheHammer

I think the problem with aBay is you read about so many scammers it makes you a littlr jumpy with what are geniune buyers.

As Hintza says send it Special Delivery & definately keep a note of the IMEI number.

Good Luck I am sure it will be fine

katepnlo

thank you all for your opinions i really appreciate it
