    Postal Order

    Sorry for the stupid question or if this has been answered in previous posts but i've got a quick q.

    I've just sold some things on ebay and the buyer wants them shipping to nigeria, we sorted out the postage etc and he has paid me with a postal order.

    With regards to the postal order I received an email from postalorderpayments@mail.usa.com telling me to post the item and send them the mail tracking number, then my postal order will be delivered to my address.

    Just want to confirm that this is what is supposed to happen and i'm not being scammed lol.

    Thanks all.

    Stop right away!

    You're being scammed. Don't send anything!

    Same happened to me yesterday. I wasn't having any of it. I gotld him to get fxxxed and to stop timewasting. Bring up a support request with eBay, report him and edit your seller requirements.

    Annoyingly i had to relist the item at my expense again

    Its a Scam, plain and simple.
    Give him the finger, report to Ebay to try and get your fee's back then re-list.

    Matt.
    Funnily enough... my sale was a mobile phone.

    I knew better though. Gave him the one-finger salute.

    Can't file for dispute for another week though

    thanks for the info everyone, seemed a little strange to me, plus there were several spelling mistakes which is highly unusual.

    Will definately report him and relist item.
