I put up a listing for my sony PSP, with a buy-it-now price and some dude bought it. Great I thought, however he now wants me to ship to Nigeria, and has sent me what looks like a fake letter from Paypal 'confirming' payment. Heres the message he sent me:

Hello Seller,
I want to inform you that i have paid suficient money for the memory card,the game and the shipment to my son place in West Africa immediately i won your item, and it has been deducted on my account .And i want you to send the item to him on time because he is having his birthday this weekend and it is for the birthday present that is why i will want fast shipment to his place so that it can get there in time before this weekend.
This is his shipping address below:
Charles Henry
34,aina street
Ojota
Lagos
23401
Nigeria
Awaiting your fast response.


The e-mail isnt from paypal, as I've just checked my account and it is showing nothing of the sort, and the email has no direct links to paypal, plus it is addressed @usa.com...


What should I do now? Relist, report?

Report and Relist.

'Ebay + Nigeria' in the same sentence just means 'con'. Wink

Report him using eBays non paying bidder section, that'll mean you're not charged for the auction ending. You can also relist it for free.

Thanks for the helpful replies, oh and I dont have a dog but I'm sure cat feaces will do just nicely Wink

Ebay is telling me I cannot file the dispute until the 29th October, which is fair enough, but does this mean I cannot relist it till then or doesnt it make a difference?

I was in the exact situation a month or so back. I waited till i had filed the dispute and believe i waited till i was granted the FVF. I am unsure though. Email ebay and they should get back to you by the next day, they did with me and were very helpful.
Hope this helps
