    I heard a similar thing about cars being nicked in bristol - they get driven down to the docks straight onto ships and wisked off to north africa. someone I know had friends who noticed their discovery being driven across the desert by some 'dark skinned fellow' on some telly program, having only lost it days before in the centre of town!

    That user account seems to be closed now, from the person who sent me the email, and I havn't contacted ebay yet!

    So here's a new one, sold another phone last night and get this email from the winning bidder:
    DEAR SELLER, AM HIGHLY INTRESTED IN BYING THIS GREAT ITEMS FOR ONE OF MY FRIEND IN AFRICA THAT JUST RELOCATED TO AFRICA AS A BIRTH DAY GIFT. I WILL LIKE TO BUY THIS ITEM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE HER BIRTH DAY DATE IS VERY LIMITED I WANT THE ITEM SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO HER IN AFRICA AND I WILL BE PAYING YOU WITH MONEY ORDER THROUGH A VERY SECURE ONLINE WESTERN UNION AUCTION PAYMENTS KINDLY GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS FOR PAYMENT I WANT THE ITEM SHIPPED VIA UPS EXPRESS SHIPPING TO AFRICA, I WILL BE WILLING TO KNOW ALL THE TOTAL COST OF THIS ITEMS + THE SHIPPING TO MY FRIEND IN AFRICA LET ME HAVE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS. PLS NOTE THAT I WANT YOU TO SHIP OUT THE ITEM TO MY CLIENT UPON APPROVAL CONFIRMATION E-MAIL FROM WESTERN UNION AUCTION
    (sorry it's in caps, but the retard typed it like that!)

    Why won't these silly ******* leave me alone!!
    I do not ship outside the UK! and escpecially not to stupid people who think they can scam me through western union!

    It's is just annoying as 2 items sold an no money! guess i will be dishing out the 2nd chance offers to 'real' bidders

    That’s harsh mate, I can't believe you have had this happen again... can I ask do you have your email displayed on the listing in anyway? As I hear that is how they pick up on you and email you directly rather than use the 'ask member a question' but I might be wrong.

    There are so many scams about, I feel sorry for all the people who are not in the know that get conned all the time

    Ebay needs to act somehow

    no, they don't bother trying to email you outside the auction, they just create a new ebay account, then make sure they win the item by entering a high bid, then that is when the send the email - after they have won the auction!
