https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/nigeria-fraud/qaa-p/4323687#M7393 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>It's a very common scam that's been going on for years.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You're going to need to go through the unpaid item dispute process to get&nbsp;your eBay final&nbsp;value fees credited back (even though you've not received payment you will still be charged)<BR /><BR />Read all about it and open one here:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/unpaid-items.html" target="_blank">http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/unpaid-items.html</A><BR /><BR />Then set your Buyer Requirements as tight as possible (I'd certainly not ship outside UK and would block bidders without a credit card registered). You can manage bidders under the Selling Activities section of the Site Map (text link at the bottom of this page).</P> Thu, 16 Jul 2015 10:49:56 GMT *vyolla* 2015-07-16T10:49:56Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/nigeria-fraud/qaq-p/4323673 <P>Has anyone had problems with someone offering to buy your items outside of Ebay plus adding money for postage. They are based in America but actually want you to post to Lagos in Nigeria. They email you to say they have sent funds but when you check emails, which is in spam, it says payment pending until proof of postage received.</P><P>They want you to do all transactions outside of Ebay. I have rung paypal but because i ended listing etc i don't know how to report on Ebay. I am lucky enough to have realised but am warning people to be on their gaurd. I have typed this in on the internet and people have fallen prey to this scam so please be aware!</P> Thu, 16 Jul 2015 10:41:08 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/nigeria-fraud/qaq-p/4323673 annalan2012 2015-07-16T10:41:08Z
