Re: scammers.

Hey Merv'

the only real scams on ebay are people wanting to pay via western union or money transfer (normally, but not only, from Nigeria) this is mainly for things like mobile phones though.

just make sure you type in big letters all people with zero or under 5 feedback to mail you first.

Good luck!!!

Re: scammers.

I buy and sell a fair bit on ebay and have only had the odd trouble usually nonpayers when auction finished but 99% ok
always check the profile of bidders to see what they have bought and sold previously
