    OK I’m just a normal person here selling my PSP when all of a sudden a “Nigerian”dude decides to buy it. So I did some reasearch on this nigerian buyer thing and found out nigerian buyers are 80% of the time hackers who steal money from your paypal account or just send u emails that u have been paid and u havent! so u just ship it away and they get ur prodect for free I’m am still debating whether or not to ship it to him if he pays me. U never no this dude could be nigerian. PLZ HELP!!!

    my Advice, whatever someone who one pay by using Moneygram or Western Union. Get verify contra number from buyer & straight collect full cash payment from agent remittance money. Then, you can send your shipment to the buyer.

    Thanks &This is helpful information. I’m also one the agent remittance money & advice to be becareful of scam email. My friend get almost cheated by one of the buyer. By using fake Moneygram email that money have been transfer & asking seller must verify shipment arrival to the buyer 1st. Luckily, he call me 1st & taking action to stop shipment. Moneygram won’t email to seller of transaction & won’t care about shipment.

    no but most sellers check the box to make bidders that have no paypal already to be unable to auction

    You’re gay; keep selling your trash from China or garage sales and keep thinking you’re better than everybody else. Way to really make it in life. “Ohh, I’m a Powerseller……I’ve really made it”. Give me your ebay name so I can see the trash your selling.

    Well fuckhead….it don’t take a whole lot to be a powerseller. You’ve got a real smart mouth on you. I wouldn’t buy anything off of ebay cause like 90% of the shit on it is counterfeit trash. I’d much rather buy from Walmart cause I know what I’m buying is real. People like you only sell on ebay cause you couldn’t hack a real profession so you had to start your own “business”.

    are you stupid? do you even know what ebay is? Im a power seller because i know what i’m doing.. and if i dont sell to people with little or no feedback is because in my experience 70% of them don’t pay or cause problems… so, to get rid of those 70% pieces of worthless shits which its obvious you’re one of them… i do what i have to do.. cancel their bids!!! idiots like you should only buy at walmart!! fucking idiot.

    Why cause you’re so much better than anybody else trying to make money. You’re an asshole…..you were a beginner once too. Just cause someone is new doesn’t make them any less reputable than you are.

    I was bidding on an item on ebay and it was getting to the end of the auction and one bidder placed 6 bids in a row, at the same $ amount, in 30 second increments until the auction was done, and ended up winning……what the hell is that? Has anyone ever seen this? How do you “rebid” at the same amount?

    balla199724 – Yeh right! Dream on pal. More like your 10 year old friend fucks you. The only way accounts get hacked are when stupid idiots allow others to find out passwords etc.
