Buyer claims he is buying for a friend

[brodie10_2]

Hi. I have just sold something and when I chased for payment so I could get the item in the post so it would be received for Chrstimas I receivegd a message from the Buyer saying "Hello! I bid it for a friend who's arranging the finances for the payment."  What should I do?

"What should I do?"

Nothing you can do until you get paid.....or not. 

Phones can be a magnet for scammers so if you do get paid, best log into your Paypal account to confirm payment and only send to the confirmed address as issued by Paypal. Also, make sure you send the phone properly insured and tracked

And after all that, you can still get shafted.
