Am i being 'conned' on Ebay?
I'm wondering if i'm being conned on ebay.
On Wednesday night i put an auction on for an old mobile phone with a Auction start price and a Buy it Now price. I only intended it to be for uk buyers so put on postage charge of £2.50.
On Thursday morning someone from Hong Kong bought it for the Buy it Now Price. Now, this buyer has a 45 feedback all positive but his last purchase was 18 months ago.
Now here's why i'm questioning the legitamcy:
1) His ebay account is registered in America, his address is in Hong Kong and he wants me to deliver the phone to Nigeria.
2) Today i got an email from him telling me has paid, the money has left his account and to send the phone to Nigeria.
3) I also got an email from Paypal saying to provide a shipment reference and the funds will be credited to my account.
4) When i log into my Paypal account (not from the link in the paypal email) there is no reference of any payment pending to me.
Do u think the Paypal email is a phishing email?
Does this sound legitamate?
thanks in advance.
