Today has been stressful but eased considerably as the stressful was also the hilarious.

I put a digital camera on Ebay last night because frankly I don't know what to do with it and by the next morning I had three offers for money if I ended the auction early. Now I know what your thinking, It is never a good thing when this happens - and you would be right, but it was not just one email OH NO, It is still going on now as I write this. So 3 people - here we go

Hi
I do have a couple of questions to verify:
- Where abroad would I be sending the item so that I can check postage costs?
- Please note that the item does not come with a box but will be packaged securely, is this OK?
Thank you

THEM
Hello Mate,
this is to inform you that payment has now been made and i hope you
have received the confirmation from PayPal that your money have been
approved so kindly get the item shipped via (ROYAL MAIL
INTERNATIONAL 7DAYS) and send the shipment tracking number to PayPal
customer care for verification and get back to me so waiting to hear
from you This is the shipping address below.

(address included - Nigeria)

Once the shipment has been done,get back to PayPal with the shipment
information for them to verify the item shipped..Thanks for your
business.

ME
Hi

Hope this is ok, get back to me asap
Thank you

THEM
Hello,
I believe you have received payment notification from PayPal and
they told that they hold the money.They put the money on hold,Because
they have requested from you to send the shipment i sent to you....So
you have to get the item shipped out and make sure you send every
information to them through their message,you click on reply n any of
message in your mail box and send whatever you want send the to
them....so that they can verify on the shipmentand they will released
the money to your account immediately....Kindly comply now and send
the money today.....Thanks....

ME
I have not received a verification from paypal
I apologise but I do not complete transactions unless it can go through Ebay, mainly for proof of purchase and if there is a problem that occurs from the purchase.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused

THEM
payment sent

ME
Hello

I have had no email from paypal to suggest that there has been a transaction or that there is money on hold, I would get notification either way as I have been trading for a few years and know the procedure.

My previous email did state that I am not willing to carry out a transaction without going through Ebay, If you require the item then please contact Ebay and get your account up and running to bid/buy.

Thank you

THEM
Proceeded to send me two emails pretending to be from Paypal - the language was so bad though, the first paragraph of one:
We are to let you know that the payment of 220.00 GBP has been made by our client Alex Joe for your eBay item) Item number: ***************
The payment is confirmed and it has been deducted from the buyer's account which will be credited into your account as you provide us with the shipment information.
We give you just 12 - 24hours to do so or else your account may not be credited for the transaction.We want you to know that we are aware of the pending funds you have with PayPal and everything will be sort out in a mannered way.

Two of the emails were headed: 'PAYMENT SENT GET THE ITEM SHIPPED'

Suprisingly I did not hear anything else from this person when I repeated my last email to them



Oh dear me, how dumb do they think we are. Anonwhymous was on hand to join me in the eye rolling of these people's stupidity, after all I only put the camera on for 9.99 with a few pounds postage.

Other than this flooding my inbox during the day, I have also made 6 calls and recieved 2 in relation to my job seekers allowance which, after 5 weeks, I have not recieved my first payment frown. Finally I got through to a person that decided to go above and beyond her post and sort it out for me, she took my details and the query and called me two hours later saying she had sorted it with the departments (admitting that they don't take to each other and that they had not input the information) and now I will get paid tomorrow smile PHEW!

More soon about what has actually been happening...

Trying to be logical with them didn't work - before I realised what was going on. But, I would never send out an item if they had not paid me first and certainly get a proof of posting. Thank goodness for logic

haven't heard from him. Sent him the pic today that I've just out on my blog, and all I got back was "huh?". Why do people bother saying 'see you again' when they don't mean it?!
