i would just like to tell you about a recent scam that i have experianced myself. I listed to sell on ebay seven ps2 games of my childrens i put the item on as buy it now and an ebay user bought the items from me explaining that she lived in nigeria even though i listed the item as uk postage only. She told me the items were for her sons birthday so i made an exception and said i would post them as i was a new user and wasnt sure what to do plus i had already had a confirmation email from paypal stating that the ebayer had paid which i then learned was a spoof email after i had already posted the items overseas now i have been told that after sending the items that there is loads of fake paypal emails in circulation. I have now been told there is no way i can refund my money and postage costs which you can imagine was not cheap recorded delivery overseas and the buyer had no intention of ever paying me so please be aware that these confermation emails are spoofs so just BE AWARE OF PAYPAL FRAUDSTERS
